Winter Haven United: A Night of Hope

A Community Benefit Event

The Historic Ritz Theatre Winter Haven, Florida

When tragedy touches a community, hope brings us together.

Join us for Winter Haven United: A Night of Hope, a special evening dedicated to supporting the families affected by the recent Winter Haven school bus accident.

This heartfelt community benefit will bring together neighbors, local organizations, and community leaders in a shared spirit of compassion, unity, and hope. Together, we will honor those impacted by this tragedy, stand alongside the families facing unimaginable challenges, and help provide meaningful assistance, including scholarship support.

Organized by the Jewett Alumni Association and Filling the Lane, the event is made possible through the collaboration of Theatre Winter Haven, ABCKeys, J Style Events, and Renard Hayes School of Music, in partnership with the Polk Education Foundation.

Winter Haven is more than a place we call home. It's a community that comes together when our neighbors need us most.

One community. One night. United in hope.

Additional event details will be announced soon.
