2018 PROGRAM

The Father Daughter Gala celebrates its 11th Anniversary this year. The event will be held on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 17th, 2018 at the Legends Club in Augusta. This year will feature the Inaugural Father of the Year Award.

The Annual Father Daughter Gala has celebrated the unique bond between fathers and daughters since 2008. This evening of elegance features first-class entertainment, fine dining, dancing, and lifelong memories, not just for fathers and daughters, but for entire families and friends. Also this year the Gala 2nd Annual Father-Son Golf Tournament at the Augusta Municipal Golf Course on Saturday, June 16, 2018.

Each year, the proceeds from the Gala are donated to local non-profit organizations. New this year, the O’Neal Foundation is excited to present their Inaugural Father of the Year Campaign. This program will add to the fundraising efforts the Gala provides to the local nonprofits it benefits.

The Father of the Year Campaign is a spirited, philanthropic competition designed to benefit each candidate’s chosen nonprofit. Candidates are a select group of honored individuals who are nominated for Father of the Year by their peers. They are dynamic, passionate, sometimes competitive, and from both social and business communities. The campaign is a great way for candidates and the fundraising teams they form to partner with other influential leaders in their communities to raise awareness and funds for their charities of choice.

The Father Daughter Gala is presented by The O'Neal Foundation and sponsored by the O'Neal Insurance Agency, The Augusta Chronicle, WRDW-WAGT, Beasley Media Group, Augusta Mall, Jim Hudson Lexus, International Formal Wear and Strothers Printing.

Seating begins at 4:00pm, and the program starts at 5:00pm. Adult tickets are $75 and children 12 and under, $35.

Gala tickets are available at The O'Neal Insurance Agency, International Formal Wear or you can REGISTER ONLINE.

Testimonals

“There is no reason or excuse that a father can give for not wanting to share this time with his daughter. A lifetime of memories packed into one special evening. One that I will never forget. Thanks honey for inviting me.”

Robert O'Neal

“My daughter and I experienced the Father Daughter Gala for the first time in 2015. It drew us closer like never before. I encourage any man young or older to experience this with their daughter. It will strengthen the relationship and create memories that will last for a lifetime.”

james hefner

“The Father Daughter Gala has given me the most precious moments with my Daddy in my entire life. And even though he recently passed on, I can forever hold in my heart the memories of our annual date. My wish is that every "little girl" can experience such a gift.”
