WGI Lights Up the Night at the 6th Annual HCPS Operations Gala

Experience the grandeur of the 6th Annual HCPS Operations Gala, an event not only showcasing a night of sophisticated charm and lively entertainment but also underscoring WGI’s commitment to education and the Hillsborough community.

On Saturday, July 20th, The Italian Club in Historic Ybor City transformed into the epicenter of glamour and excitement as the Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Operations Division hosted their highly anticipated 6th Annual HCPS Operations Gala: Casino Royale.

The event, brimming with excitement, marked yet another pivotal moment in the ongoing journey to support and celebrate the students and staff of HCPS.

A Night to Remember

The 6th Annual HCPS Operations Gala served as a night of celebration, gratitude, and profound impact.

As guests arrived, they were greeted by an atmosphere of sophistication and charm, with decor that perfectly captured the Casino Royale theme. Attendees danced, mingled, and reveled in the festivities, as they took to the dance floor to bust a move, and even put their luck to the test at the casino tables.

A blend of celebration and gratitude, the evening without question left all those in attendance with countless memories to last a lifetime.

WGI at the HCPS Operations Gala

A Proud Partner and Sponsor

WGI was honored to take center stage as the After-Hours Café Sponsor of the event, with our esteemed team of Rob Anston, William Kenney, Sierra Eades, and Jaime Jones donning their finest attire to take part in the festivities.

Our team’s presence served as a testament to WGI’s deep-rooted commitment to the community, our unwavering support for HCPS, and our continued partnership with the event, which last year raised over $100,000.

A Legacy of Impact

But the Casino Royale Gala serves as more than just an evening of entertainment—it stands as a beacon of hope and support for the HCPS community.

Last year’s event, themed around the enchanting Moulin Rouge, empowered HCPS to make significant strides, which included:

  • Empowering operations staff with professional development opportunities across the nation.
  • Showing appreciation for the hardworking Student Nutrition Services team with manager appreciation gift cards.
  • Engaging transportation drivers with monthly “Employee of the Month” rewards.
  • Enhancing school security and emergency management through specialized training in Washington D.C.
  • Celebrating excellence through national speaking engagements and awards ceremonies.

Building on these achievements, the funds raised at the Casino Royale Gala will further these impactful initiatives, fostering a culture of excellence, appreciation, and safety within the district.

A Commitment to Community and Education

WGI’s involvement in the HCPS Operations Gala underscores our enduring commitment to the Hillsborough Education Foundation (HEF) and our dedication to community service.

Our contributions to HCPS through building design projects and initiatives such as our annual backpack drive from our Tampa office highlight our role as a steadfast partner in education.

As we look ahead, WGI remains committed to shaping the future of education through our continued support and partnership with HCPS.
