FORT MYERS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, is hosting 'A Night of a Million Dreams' Gala at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 10 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs. The gala will raise funds to support Better Together's mission of helping parents find employment and provide a loving, safe and supportive foundation for their children.

The Wizard of Oz-themed gala will take guests on a magical journey to the wonderful land of better families and better jobs with an evening of dinner, impactful stories and live and silent auctions, with all proceeds to benefit Better Together programs that serve families across the state. The event is chaired by Dr. Alise and David Bartley.

Better Together is made up of two programs – Better Families and Better Jobs – that help parents who are going through a hard time to keep their kids out of foster care, find work and address the root causes of their struggle so that they can reunite as a family with the tools and support system to thrive. The nonprofit's programming reaches families in 21 counties across the state. To date, the organization has served over 7,800 children and kept 98% of families together, while helping 39,000 job seekers across 22 states find employment.
