If you’re in Columbus or central Ohio, this is a night to step out of winter and support something meaningful. The Finding Forever Gala: Margaritaville brings a relaxed, island-inspired atmosphere to an evening focused on helping children find permanent, loving families.

You’ll enjoy a tropical-themed dinner, cocktails, and a mix of silent and live auctions, with a few surprises along the way. Costumes are encouraged—think island shirts or a touch of Jimmy Buffett flair—but optional. The focus is on showing up, having fun, and backing adoption services that treat every journey with care and respect.

The event takes place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Brookside Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. Proceeds support Open Arms Adoptions, a nonprofit organization dedicated to guiding birth parents and families through the adoption process and helping children find their forever homes.
