FGCU Athletics’ Night at the Nest Gala


December 5, 2025 5:30 pm


5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Alico Arena
10501 FGCU Blvd S Fort Myers, FL 33965

Celebrating its 15th year, this spirited evening brings together alumni, fans and community champions for an unforgettable celebration in support of the more than 265 student-athletes who represent the heart and soul of FGCU Athletics.

Guests will enjoy an elevated evening of purpose and celebration, featuring a refined culinary experience, a curated live auction of exclusive packages, a silent auction and a compelling call to giving.

After last year’s record-breaking gala raised more than $1 million, anticipation is soaring for what’s ahead. The 2025 event introduces a reimagined format with a powerful focus on a critical pillar of student-athlete success: nutrition. Attendees will gain a behind-the-scenes look at how investments in health and wellness fuel performance – on the field, in the classroom and in life.

Reservations are available for $3,000 per table of ten. Additional event partnership opportunities are available, and a limited number of individual tickets will be offered.
