Annual Events
Feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless is serious business. But twice a year, we gather to laugh, dance, celebrate our progress, and, of course, raise funds to help more of our neighbors in need.
The Auction
Uncork & Unwind
Our annual spring fundraiser has its own unique charms as our signature wine event! This one’s more intimate, bringing together some 350 kind-hearted friends of the homeless. If you love our cause but also appreciate the good life, this one’s for you. It’s always a night to remember, complete with a world-class dining experience, an auction showcasing the finest in wine, travel, and lifestyle luxury, and that’s just to start. Our “Uncork & Unwind” guests are treated to an unforgettable gourmet dinner prepared by James Beard Award-winning Chef Michelle Bernstein. While your tastebuds savor Chef Bernstein’s exquisite flavors, your funny bone will be tickled by the musings of one of Miami’s greatest treasures, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author and Humorist Dave Barry. Join us and do great good for Miami-Dade’s most vulnerable while you have the time of your life!
Guayaberas & Good Times
Hope for All Gala
Every December, up to 1,000 friends and supporters of Camillus House come together to help transform the lives of our poor and vulnerable neighbors. It’s serious work, but we have a blast raising funds for our critical cause. This dynamic event, bursting with the colors, sounds, and excitement of Miami, is our largest fundraiser of the year. Those attending enjoy live and silent auctions buzzing with action, a delectable three-course dinner, open bar, lively entertainment, dancing, and more! Best of all, proceeds directly benefit the women, men and children we serve year-round including more than 1,700 individuals sleeping safely each night under a Camillus House roof. Nowhere will you find a better opportunity to have so much fun and do so much good at once! Don’t miss another year. Join us!
