Mad Hatter Mingle

The Mad Hatter Mingle is a whimsical, tea-themed luncheon that invites guests to “tumble down the rabbit hole” for an afternoon of fun and philanthropy. Hosted at the Tallahassee Women’s Club, the event features a handcrafted mimosa bar, a delightful lite luncheon prepared by Social Catering, and a dazzling fashion show spotlighting local boutiques. Attendees are encouraged to don their most creative hats for a chance to win fabulous door prizes in the Mad Hatter Hat contest.

This unique gathering not only offers a charming social experience but also serves a greater purpose: supporting the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Big Bend. The Mad Hatter Mingle provides an exclusive opportunity for community members to come together, enjoy a delightful afternoon, and contribute to the empowerment of local youth through education, leadership, and healthy lifestyle programs.

From Potential to Progress

Across nine different Club locations in three counties, we serve youth from under-resourced communities, providing safe, supportive environments where they can thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Our mission is simple yet powerful: we work with adolescents, but we build adults through academic support, mentorship, and enriching activities that cost little to nothing for families. Our Club members make healthier decisions, stay engaged in school, and graduate ready to succeed in college, careers, and life.
