The Annual Celebration of Philanthropy is the signature event where community leaders, philanthropists, and civic partners gather to honor the individuals who make Volusia and Flagler Counties a better place to live. This year, the spotlight falls on two extraordinarily deserving honorees.

The Bowler and Ufheil families receive the Herbert M. Davidson Award — one of the region’s most prestigious philanthropic honors — in recognition of their decades of transformational investment in local families and communities. Ida Babazadeh is named Community Champion for her passionate, hands-on leadership in causes that uplift and connect people across the region.

All proceeds benefit the Daytona Beverages Community First Fund, established in honor of the Bowler and Ufheil families. The fund delivers practical, life-changing support to individuals and families throughout the region — real help for real people.

Visit GiveSmart to sponsor this event or purchase tickets today.
