At Gallery Night Pensacola, we are proud to operate as a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching our local community through arts, culture, and connection. We are honored to partner with fellow nonprofit organizations who share in the mission of making Pensacola a vibrant and inclusive for all.
Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County
Our mission is to identify and meet the needs of children and families to lay the foundation for lifetime success by maximizing each child’s potential, preparing children to enter school ready to learn, and helping families achieve economic self-sufficiency. We offer school readiness services to low-income families supplementing the cost of their childcare.
in addition to school readiness services, we oversee the Voluntary Prekindergarten Program (VPK). VPK gives each child an opportunity to perform better in school and throughout life with quality programs that include high literacy standards, accountability, appropriate curricula, substantial instruction periods, lower class sizes and qualified instructors. All eligible children are entitled to participate in one of three VPK program options. The VPK mission is to ensure that all children are intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically ready to enter school and ready to learn, fully recognizing the crucial role of parents as their child’s first teacher.
Our staff provides support and coaching to several early childhood educators in Escambia County ensuring they are offering a high-quality early learning environment for every child in their classroom.
FLORIDA PANHANDLE BREAST CANCER ASSOCIATION
The mission of the FLORIDA PANHANDLE BREAST CANCER ASSOCIATION, DBA Pensacola Breast Cancer Association (PBCA) is to raise funds for breast cancer education, screening, and diagnostic services for indigent and underinsured individuals in the Florida Panhandle.
Funds raised by PBCA are donated to local nonprofit medical centers that provide free mammograms to women—and some men—who are uninsured or underinsured.
Through a partnership with Emily Hardin, a trained mastectomy bra fitter and experienced wig fitter, PBCA has expanded its support services to include wigs and mastectomy bras. These items are provided through personal care appointments, ensuring that every woman—regardless of financial ability—leaves with the support she needs, including a wig if desired.
Through a partnership with other survivors, we connect breast cancer patients and survivors with several support groups in the local area.
Free Mom Hugs
Free Mom Hugs provides support for LGBTQIA+ individuals in local communities through visibility, education, and conversation. Our set up would include brochures, volunteers to provide information and, of course, hugs to anyone in need of a Mom-hug.
Olive Baptist Church
Olive Baptist exists to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus.
