Event Details

Groveland is preparing to celebrate its rich history, strong community spirit, and commitment to helping others with the city’s inaugural Founders’ Gala, a special evening designed to honor local leaders while supporting a worthy cause.

Mitchell Hill, owner of Mitchell Tropical Ice Cream, and Groveland Mayor Keith Keogh shared details about the upcoming Founders’ Gala recognizing outstanding individuals and businesses whose contributions have helped shape Groveland while highlighting the values that continue to guide the growing city.

Inspired by Groveland’s founding year, the Gala will transport guests back to the Roaring Twenties with a curated “Put on the Ritz” theme. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the era’s glamour by dressing in semi-formal, cocktail, or period attire as they enjoy an evening filled with elegance, community charm, and a spirit of compassion.

Organizers describe the event as an immersive experience centered around “Fun. Fantasy. Community. Charm. Caring. Compassion.” The evening will bring residents, business leaders, and community supporters together to celebrate Groveland’s past while investing in its future.
