Gala of Giving HOPE - Frequently Asked Questions

Check out our FAQ to learn more about our event and how you can get involed!

How do I purchase a ticket or table to the Gala?

Tickets and tables can be purchased online through our Gala Event Page or by visiting namigo.org and clicking the “3rd Annual Gala of Giving HOPE” banner on the homepage.

  • Select the number of tickets or tables you’d like to reserve.
  • Enter your guests’ names and plated meal selections (you may update this later).
  • Proceed to checkout.

After checkout, you’ll receive an email with your receipt and instructions on how to transfer tickets to your guests if you purchased more than one.

Can I pay by check, cash, or bank transfer?

Yes - we do accept alternative payment methods. Please contact our office at (407) 253-1900 as soon as possible so we can reserve your spot and note your payment preference.

Once payment is received, we’ll send you a promo code to complete your registration online. Use the code at checkout to zero out the balance, select meals, and confirm your details.

My colleague reserved a table for us – how do I get my ticket?

The table host will receive all tickets via email. They can then assign tickets directly to you through their “Manage Ticket Details” link (recommended), which sends your ticket to your inbox and allows you to update your meal selection.

  • Hosts can also forward their ticket email to you as an alternative; however, forwarded tickets may not allow you to modify your meal choice. Your table host must make any updates on your behalf.

How do I manage or update my tickets?

After registering, you’ll receive an email with your tickets and a “Manage Ticket Details” link.

  • Use this link anytime to update guest names, email addresses, or meal selections.
  • When you input an email, the ticket will be sent to that guest - they can then access their ticket, assign to someone else, and/or update their own meal choices directly.

Please ensure all your guests have their tickets (printed or digital) for check-in on the day of the Gala.

What if I have a last minute guest change?

Tickets can be reassigned at any time using the “Manage Ticket” feature. If needed, the original ticket holder can forward the ticket email to the new guest.

Please Note: Forwarded tickets, printed tickets, or tickets assigned after October 14th cannot be modified for meal selections.

Where do I park for the Gala? Is there a fee?

Parking is easy this year! Complimentary valet parking will be provided at the Winter Park Event Center. Simply drive up and our event staff will take care of the rest. You do not need to pay for parking.

Meal selections are entered during checkout – This can be modified later using the “Manage Ticket Details” link in your ticket email. Guests can update their own meals once their ticket is sent to them directly. Meal selections can be modified until October 14th.

I have a dietary restriction – how do I request a special meal?
