As Drive to Provide presented by Gardens Wealth Management prepares to return to the West Palm Beach waterfront on Wednesday, January 13, 2027, the community behind one of Palm Beach County’s most distinctive philanthropic events is already gaining momentum.
On September 23, the Drive to Provide Board, alongside beneficiary Gulfstream Goodwill’s Sustainable Housing Mission, gathered longtime partners and supporters at Waterway Café in Palm Beach Gardens for an evening of cocktails, conversation and appreciation and to begin the road to the 2027 event.
The gathering recognized past supporters including Gardens Wealth Management, Wells Fargo Advisors, The Hometown Foundation, Legends Radio, Charles Schwab, Florida Insurance Trust, Braman Motor Cars, K2 Motorcars, Fifth Third Bank, PBSO, Fantastic Finishes, Furia Corsa, Abaco Automotive, Hemco Landscape Service and many other business, in-kind and private donors whose support has helped fuel the event’s growth.
The evening also welcomed new partners, including RF Motors, Classic Cars of Palm Beach and LaMuse Jewelers, as the event continues to expand its circle of automotive enthusiasts, collectors, philanthropists and community leaders.
Now entering its fifth year, on Wednesday, January 13, 2027, Drive to Provide presented by Gardens Wealth Management will return to the S. Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach for an evening centered around rare and exceptional automobiles, live music, silent auction experiences and Havana Nights inspired entertainment overlooking the Intracoastal.
“Drive to Provide is more than an exceptional event. It is a powerful example of what our community can accomplish when we come together with purpose. We are proud to once again support Gulfstream Goodwill’s mission to expand the affordable housing footprint in Palm Beach County, creating lasting stability, opportunity and brighter futures for individuals and families who need it most.”
— Michael Cowan, Founder & CEO, Gardens Wealth Management.
The need is both local and urgent. United Way of Palm Beach County’s 2026 ALICE report found 49% of Palm Beach County households struggled to make ends meet, while county data shows nearly 57% of renters are cost burdened, spending more than 30% of their income on housing. For families navigating homelessness, disability, job loss or other barriers to stability, safe and affordable housing can be the difference between crisis and a path forward.
This mission takes on added significance as Gulfstream Goodwill celebrates its 60th anniversary, marking six decades of connecting individuals and families across Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties with housing, workforce development and supportive services.
The impact of Drive to Provide is already tangible. The 2026 event welcomed more than 300 guests and raised more than $300,000 to advance Gulfstream Goodwill’s Sustainable Housing Mission. Over the past four years, Drive to Provide has generated approximately $3 million, enabling the creation of Gulfstream House I in Lake Worth and expanding the affordable housing footprint in Palm Beach County.
For sponsors, Drive to Provide offers a meaningful way for a brand to stand out while standing up with its community. Partnership opportunities connect businesses with a highly engaged Palm Beach audience while directly supporting affordable housing solutions for neighbors in need.
Guests and collectors with rare, exotic, classic or otherwise exceptional vehicles may also participate through sponsorship and vehicle submission opportunities.
Drive to Provide returns to the waterfront on January 13, 2027 with the same fundamental idea: that an exceptional evening can accomplish something exceptional beyond itself. Every sponsorship, ticket, auction item, donation and vehicle partnership helps move the mission forward, and every dollar makes an impact.
