SMA Soiree - Where Mind Meets Mission

An evening gala benefiting SMA Healthcare, a regional behavioral-health and addiction-recovery provider. Held at Ocala's Circle Square Cultural Center, the soiree pairs a plated dinner and cocktails with entertainment, including a performance by illusionist Kevin Viner, and a program of speakers built around the theme of where mind meets mission. All proceeds fund a new playground at the organization's Women's Residential Recovery Unit, a space designed to help mothers in recovery heal and bond with their children. The event is aimed at community members, philanthropists and sponsors who want to support maternal mental-health and substance-use recovery in Marion County. Tickets are $100 per person, with sponsorship packages available for businesses and individuals wanting a larger role. Dress is upscale; the night blends dining, inspiration and a live magic performance.
