About this Event
Once Upon an Impact: An Intimate & Immersive Storytelling Gala
For 20 years, Common Ground Community Development has been a place for people to learn, connect, create, grow, and build community in Lake Worth Beach.
Now, we’re celebrating that story, and inviting you to step inside it.
Once Upon an Impact is not your typical gala. This intimate evening will blend dinner, live music, visual storytelling, art, archival moments, and an immersive creative program that brings two decades of impact to life.
From a single piano lesson to a thriving community hub filled with artists, students, entrepreneurs, families, nonprofits, and neighbors, you’ll experience the unexpected story of how Common Ground grew AND get a glimpse of what could come next.
Your evening will include a red carpet arrival, valet parking, a silent auction, a storybook-style walkthrough of our building, a dinner buffet, live creative performances, and our signature 20-minute storytelling presentation, Once Upon an Impact.
Whether you’ve been connected to Common Ground for years or you’re hearing our name for the very first time, this night is for anyone who believes in creativity, community, and the power of giving people a place to belong. Your support helps us continue the impact.
Come dressed for a beautiful night out, enjoy an experience created to surprise and inspire you, and help us celebrate the people and moments that shaped our first 20 years.
The story has already been incredible. The best chapters are still ahead.
