About This Event
In 2023, Daytona Beach Mayor Derrick Henry launched a new tradition in Daytona—the Mayor's Gala, an annual night of philanthropy to end homelessness.
On February 7, 2026, we will gather as a community and build upon our tradition to celebrate and honor our First Step Shelter supporters, community leaders, corporate & faith-based partnerships, and municipal and county partners. Most importantly, we will celebrate those who took the first step to housing and self-sufficiency.
The 4th Annual Mayor's Gala is an optional black tie, festive celebration with interactive entertainment inspired by Under the Sea. The evening will include a cocktail reception, dinner, honoree awards, entertainment, and a program highlighting the work of the First Step Shelter.
Our event takes place at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort and starts at 6 pm. Parking is available at the Public Parking Garage across the street, and a free Shuttle will be available again this year. There is also limited Valet Parking at the North Entrance.
Be a Sponsor, Host a Table, or Purchase a ticket!
Sponsorships range from $10,000 to $2,500 and provide us with the opportunity to highlight those individuals and businesses that go above and beyond in helping us meet the financial demands of our mission. If you are interested in learning more about this special opportunity, please get in touch with us at Gala@firststepshelter.org
Table Hosts are also crucial to meeting our fundraising goal. Table Hosts purchase a table for 8 and invite seven of their friends or family to join them at the Gala! The cost is $1,200.
Individual tickets are also available for $150 per person, and we’d love to see you at our event!
Sponsorships, Premier Table Hosts, and individual Gala Tickets are available now!
