A meaningful evening of connection, impact, and shared purpose
On May 15, 2026, Tri-County Human Services welcomed community members, partners, and supporters to its Annual Fundraising Dinner at the Bonnet Springs Park Event Center.

The evening brought together more than 120 guests in support of Tri-County’s mission to provide essential mental health and substance use services to children, families, and individuals across Polk, Hardee, and Highlands counties. The event raised significant support for Tri-County’s programs and will help expand access to care throughout the community.

Guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, dinner, and a special interview with Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Mike Alstott. The program also featured remarks from Public Defender Blair Allen, who was formally introduced as Tri-County’s 2026 Ambassador, continuing a strong tradition of community leadership and advocacy.

We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to the success of the evening. From our generous sponsors and donors to our dedicated volunteers and community partners, your involvement is vital to the important work we do every day.

More than a fundraiser, the night reflected our shared commitment to strengthening access to care and creating lasting impact for those we serve.

Thank you for being part of it!
