Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys is putting on the ritz at its upcoming 19th annual cocktail party on Saturday, March 5 at 6 p.m. at the Playa Largo Resort & Spa Ballroom.
Set to the theme of “New York, New York,” the evening of magic and music will include a variety of New York City themed food stations, unlimited wine and Islamorada Brewery & Distillery brews and seltzers. Over $100,000 of trips, concert tickets, resort stays, jewelry and much more will be available during the silent and live auctions. An exclusive pre-party VIP reception is also planned at Club Playa featuring hors d’oeuvres paired with wine tasting.
This party is the most significant annual event for the Habitat affiliate. Proceeds go into its building fund, which is dedicated to building affordable housing in the Upper Keys. HFHUK is currently planning its second largest project — Gardenia Place in Islamorada — with nine units on two properties.
“Our schedule is to begin construction in early 2022 with anticipated completion of the project by the spring of 2023,” said Lindsay Fast, executive director. “We really appreciate the community’s support to help us build affordable housing. Attending the event, donating an item for auction or simply making a monetary contribution will all help us help families in need to achieve homeownership.
“We are especially thankful to our major sponsors — American Caribbean Real Estate, CBT Construction, DEX Imaging, First Horizon Bank, Playa Largo Resort & Spa, and Riva Motorsports & Marine,” Fast continued.
Tickets for the party are $200 per person. Reserve a table for 10 in advance with your friends for $3,000, which includes reserved seating and admission. A limited number of tickets are available for the VIP reception on a first come/first serve basis and are $400 per person, including a reserved seat at and admission to the party. A special VIP package may be purchased in advance for $4,000, all inclusive: admission for 10 to the VIP reception and admission and a reserved table for 10 at the party.
