We have another Disco Ball Decor Sponsor - @eastofcollins! Without their amazing generosity, this Gala wouldn’t be as glitzy!

East of Collins helps developers, contractors, architects, business owners, event producers and project teams navigate construction permitting, business licensing, special event permitting and complex municipal approvals across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. One accountable team coordinates the moving pieces, keeps the next action clear and protects project and event momentum from avoidable and costly permitting delays.
