IEvery year, the Father Daughter Gala celebrates the family bond on Father’s Day. This year is no exception, and will be held on Sunday, June 17, 2018 at the Legends Club in Augusta. 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.

Since 2008, the Father Daughter Gala has featured an evening of elegance with first-class entertainment, fine dining, dancing, and lifelong memories for fathers and daughters of all ages along with their families, friends, and neighbors. This year will not only highlight the Father of the Year, but will showcase many fun activities, silent auction, and a raffle. The Saturday Golf Tournament at First Tee preceding the Gala on Saturday, June 16, 2018 is yet another component of this weekend of excitement for families.
