Girl Scouts host fundraiser: Campfires to Cocktails

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The event name is intriguing. The Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida designed it to be. Campfires to Cocktails is an intimate, in-person fundraising event taking place Nov. 13 at Camp Mahachee on Old Cutler Road in Coral Gables. It features delicious food and drink, Girl Scout camp-themed games, inspirational speakers and a silent auction, all in a beautiful outdoor setting.

“After a year and a half of virtual events, we are officially back in person and seeing the power of Girl Scouts in action,” said Chelsea Wilkerson, CEO of GSTF. “During the pandemic, Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida has continued to provide support and leadership experiences for the nearly 3,000 K-12 girls we serve thanks to committed volunteers, donors and community partners who believe in championing girl ambition.”
