Take Part in the 2026 Giving Challenge
The Giving Challenge is an exciting 24-hour online giving event that connects about 700 nonprofit organizations with passionate donors and community members to support diverse causes and create enduring impact in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties.
Since 2012, the Giving Challenge has acted as a catalyst for connection and provided more than $92 million in unrestricted funding to our nonprofit community over nine challenges.
Being a part of the Giving Challenge can transform nonprofit organizations through meaningful relationships and partnerships, all while strengthening their potential reach.

This clever and heartfelt production begins with a theatre lover who invites you into their living room to listen to their favorite cast album. As the record spins, the story magically bursts to life—complete with dazzling showgirls, mistaken identities, a charming bride and groom, and of course, the delightfully tipsy chaperone who steals the show.
Packed with high-energy dance numbers, witty humor, and unforgettable songs, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving parody of classic 1920s musicals that will leave audiences of all ages laughing and tapping their toes.
Join our talented Ovation performers as they Train. Shine. Perform. in this joyful celebration of musical theatre!
