Margaritaville Evening for Education

The Education Foundation of St. Lucie County will host the 26th Annual Evening for Education, Sat., Nov, 8, 2025 at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club. Presented by A&G Concrete Pools, the Margaritaville-themed evening (#E4E) will be held from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. and feature a live auction with auctioneer Travis Leonard wielding the gavel. The long-running event benefitting public education in St. Lucie County will include entertainment by the Aquaholics, an island-inspired, plated dinner with treats like cheeseburgers in paradise, and a welcome reception along with its spirited auction.

Guests will begin their island casual evening at a reception hosted by Remnant Construction while perusing auction items and mingling with signature cocktails. Featured items on this year’s auction block include original art by Lisa Jill Allison, a Taylor Swift autographed guitar, and vacations stays both locally and in the mountains.

“One of our favorite events every year is our gala. It’s a fantastic opportunity to share our accomplishments with our many supporters and friends. These dedicated businesses, individuals and partners see the value of public education and are committed to enhancing it.” said Thom Jones, Foundation president. “An Evening for Education is our shared celebration of successes while looking toward the future.” Jones added.

Again in 2025, the Evening For Education will continue its silent auction on the popular portal ClickBid through November 21, 2025. Items up for grabs include passes to SeaWorld and Aquatica, dining at several area restaurants, spa and nail services, more than ten foursomes of golf, and much much more. Items will continue to be added until the auction opens on Nov. 8 at 8 a.m. and runs through Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. thanks to the generosity of auction sponsors from CORE Construction.
