Mark your calendars for one of the building industry’s top events. The Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA) will host its annual Charity Gala from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville.

Guests will enjoy food, fun and prizes while supporting a wonderful cause. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit Builders Care, NEFBA’s charitable arm whose mission is to provide home improvements.

Everyone is encouraged to dress for the country fair, the theme of this year’s gala. The cost is $100 per person and includes an all-evening open bar for soft drinks, beer and wine.

The purchase of a ticket includes an entry in this year’s Grand Prize Giveaway, an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the Country Music Association (CMA) Music Festival, which will be held in Nashville June 7-10, 2012. The prize, valued at $3,500, includes an Opryland Resort stay, CMA Music Festival four-day passes, travel and spending money.

For tickets, contact Jamie Atkins at (904) 725-4355 or at [email protected].

We hope to see you there!
