Mardi Gras Gala

Goodwill Manasota is thrilled to announce the return of the popular Mardi Gras Gala, which features lively New Orleans-style music and dancing, authentic Cajun cuisine, open bar, fabulous live auction items, and special surprises! This event was conceived by Michael’s On East co-proprietor Philip Mancini, who never fails to delight guests with fabulous dinner offerings such as shrimp étouffée, crab cakes, jambalaya, and much more. Guests are encouraged to wear fun and festive Mardi Gras attire (including masks and LOTS of beads); proceeds support Goodwill’s mission of “Changing lives through the power of work.”
