A Night of Community, Compassion, and Commitment

On April 11, 2025, Tri-County Human Services hosted the Friends of Tri-County Annual Fundraising Dinner at Bonnet Springs Park Event Center. With nearly $40,000 raised, every dollar will go directly toward providing critical mental health and substance abuse services to children and families across Polk, Hardee, and Highlands counties.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this night a success—those who attended, purchased raffle tickets, and bid on silent and live auction items. Your generosity will help ensure that no one is turned away from the care they need.

To our Gold Level Sponsors —
SouthState Bank, Excalibur Financial Group, Assured Partners, and Florida Insurance Trust — thank you for your exceptional support and leadership in this effort.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to all our sponsors, donors, and community partners whose contributions—big and small—helped us reach this milestone. Your belief in our mission makes our work possible.

Thank you to the many local businesses who donated incredible auction and raffle items, adding energy and excitement to the night.

A heartfelt thank-you goes to Steve Kalogridis, who bravely shared his personal story of recovery and the life-changing impact of Tri-County Human Services. His words were a powerful testament to the work we do—and the lives we strive to uplift.

And finally, thank you to our dedicated staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Your passion and commitment brought this evening to life.

This event was more than a fundraiser—it was a celebration of hope, healing, and what we can achieve together.

Thank you for standing with us.
