Hero Gala at Hideaway Beach Club

The Hideaway Beach Club in Marco Island will host a remarkable evening of purpose and celebration when the Hero Gala takes place on January 16, bringing together music, art, community, and philanthropy to support two life–changing charities: Tunnel to Towers Foundation and A Brighter Light Foundation. 

Hosted by saxophone recording artist and 2025 World Entertainment Award winner Eirinn Abu, the Hero Gala will benefit organizations that share a powerful mission - supporting heroes and saving lives. 

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is nationally recognized for providing mortgage-free smart homes to catastrophically injured first responders, veterans, and their families. Meanwhile, A Brighter Light Foundation is dedicated to suicide awareness, intervention, and treatment across America, offering hope and help to individuals in crisis, including first responders 

and veterans who face the highest risks. 

The Hero Gala is one of many events scheduled this year as part of a nationwide effort to raise awareness, expand education, and offer cost-free mental health support and suicide prevention resources to those in need. 

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening with master of ceremonies and local Hideaway resident Cathy Teghtmeyer beginning with a cocktail reception, followed by a gourmet dinner and a live auction featuring rare and meaningful items, including original canvas works by the late, world-renowned, award-winning artist Art Fronckowiak. 

Entertainment for the evening will include a special concert presented by Eirinn Abu alongside multi-Grammy-winning violinist Pedro Alfonso, premiering their new 

collaboration, the Two Voices Tour. The night will also feature performances by champion ballroom dancers from Fred Astaire of Naples, promising an unforgettable visual and 

musical experience. 

More than a gala, the Hero Gala represents unity, compassion, and gratitude-honoring those who serve, remembering those lost, and uplifting those who still need hope.
