spent an evening at the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa on March 1, 2008 celebrating the accomplishments
of children

Hosted by Emmy-nominated actress Cheryl Hines, guests enjoyed a fabulous four-course gourmet meal with unique wine pairings, bid on incredible packages and experiences in the silent and live auction, and jammed to the outstanding vocal performance of Ms. Davonda Simmons, a fabulous jazz and blues singer. In addition, UCP presented Darden Restaurants with the Jack Holloway Star of Gratitude Award for their longstanding support of the special needs community
Mark Saturday, March 28, 2009 on your calendars for UCP of Central Florida's 16th Annual Gala. It is sure to be an exciting evening that you will not want to miss!
