Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee Announces 32nd Annual Tropical Nights In the Wild West
Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee is tipping its hat and inviting the community to saddle up for the 32nd Annual Tropical Nights In the Wild West, set for Friday, March 6, 2026, at the Grove Ballroom in Lakewood Ranch. The signature fundraising gala will begin at 6 p.m. and promises an evening filled with lively entertainment, great food, and opportunities to support vital services for local seniors.
This year’s Wild West–themed celebration will feature a fun-filled saloon atmosphere, engaging entertainment, and mouth-watering vittles, along with a highly anticipated live and online auction. Guests can expect a spirited night of camaraderie and generosity, all benefiting Meals on Wheels PLUS of Manatee and its mission to nourish, enrich, and support older adults in the community.
Organizers encourage supporters to get involved in one of four ways: donate an auction item, sponsor Tropical Nights 2026, purchase event tickets, or contribute matching funds to amplify the impact of donations.
Proceeds from Tropical Nights play a critical role in sustaining programs that help seniors remain healthy, independent, and connected. Additional event details, sponsorship opportunities, and ticket information are available online at one.bidpal.net/tropicalnightswildwest/welcome.
