Kennedy King Gala 2023

We are fighting to keep alive and advance the ideals of equality, justice, and empowerment championed by President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Do you want laws and initiatives that uplift marginalized communities, provide educational opportunities, and drive positive social change? Then we must elect Democrats!

By attending the Kennedy-King Gala, you will not only be contributing to our Victory Fund, but you will be helping to shape the local political landscape. Your ticket purchase or sponsorship provides vital resources for Democratic candidates who will champion the values we hold dear. Your attendance not only strengthens our Hillsborough Democratic Party but also sends a powerful message of solidarity and determination. Let's kick off the 2024 election cycle together with unwavering support, hope, and dedication to shaping a future that uplifts every Hillsborough County resident. So, step into the forefront of political engagement and set the stage for big wins in 2024! The Winning Begins Now!

The evening includes time to catch up with your Democratic friends by attending the General Reception or purchasing a ticket to the VIP Reception. You will hear from some tenacious and bold Democrats and enjoy a fabulous dinner. We know you will end the evening with a renewed determination to elect Democrats!
