Tampa, Fla.
– The University Area CDC (Community Development Corporation) will hold its
eighth annual gala: A Masquerade Affair,
on Saturday, Nov. 2, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the University Area Community Center
at 14013 N. 22nd
St. in Tampa.

Presented by Advent Health, A Masquerade Affair is University Area CDC’s largest
fundraiser of the year, celebrating the organization’s accomplishments while
raising significant contributions for operations and programs. This year’s
event will have a Great Gatsby and roaring 20s theme and will include an art
gallery, catered culinary stations, live entertainment, dancing, silent
auction, martini bar, dessert bar and a VIP speakeasy reception, sponsored by
CenterState Bank.

Specifically, proceeds from the 2019 Gala will benefit the University

“We strongly believe that everyone deserves
to have a place that they call home and by working together we can rise to the
challenge of solving our attainable housing crisis by partnering and leveraging
our resources,” said University Area CDC CEO Sarah Combs. “The University Area
CDC is taking an innovative approach to attainable housing and creating unique
models that will work for the residents that live in the University Area. We
are building single family housing, modular housing, multi-family housing,
townhomes and are looking outside of the box to understand what it takes to
make a resident a home owner and going the extra mile to make it happen.”
