Rosen Shingle Creek’s Panzacola Ballroom became a sort of speakeasy on Friday, Nov. 2, as hundreds of guests in 1920s attire arrived to support Best Buddies Florida. According to its website, Best Buddies has “many strong programs in Florida that enrich the lives of youth and adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities.” Guests at the organization’s Gatsby-themed gala enjoyed an extended cocktail hour, photo booth with props, silent auction and dinner as they raised funds to support Best Buddies’ life-changing programs.
