he Pensacola Yacht Club was the venue for the 20th Annual Trinitas Benefit 
Gala and Auction on Friday, November 2. To celebrate the second decade 
of the school’s establishment, the evening was presented in the style of the 
roaring 20’s. Guests were dressed in their best Great Gatsby themed attire 

accessorized with headpieces, hats, pearls, and all the fancy flair. Rigsby Orthodontist 
sponsored a Charleston Dance Competition in which thirty students between 11th and 
12th grades danced in pairs and guests were able to “Vote by Electronic Bidding” on 
their smart phone for their favorite couple. All proceeds from the event benefited the 
Trinitas Annual Fund, which provides financial assistance to students and families 
struggling with tuition needs. 

Live and silent auctions were held with items donated from Bere’ Jewelers, Portofino 

Island Resort, Mochado and Reed Real Estate, Aspen Dental, Chick-Fil-A, Edward 
Jones, Guardian Ad Litem, and Synovus Bank. Raffles were also held, which offered 
prizes including vacation packages, gift certificates from Pete Moore, photoshoots from 
Marty Hadding, tickets for the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra’s New years Eve concert, 
a 1955 Word Series game ball autographed by Greg Maddox, and a DeLuna Coffee 
assortment package.
