**SARASOTA, Fla.** – TeamTony Cancer Foundation invites the Suncoast community to join us for our 9th Annual Jackets & Jeans Fundraiser on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 6:30 PM at Michael’s On East.

Jackets & Jeans isn’t your typical gala—it’s a night of heartfelt connection, great food, and powerful impact. Guests will enjoy creative cuisine by Michael’s On East, live music from The Boomers Live the Sixties, and a chance to bid on unforgettable silent and live auction items. Dress is casual chic—but the vibe is all heart.

This year, we are deeply grateful to Ashton Thomas Private Wealth, our Platinum Sponsor, for their unwavering support. Their generosity helps ensure local cancer fighters and caregivers have access to the hope, resources, and community they need—at no cost.

All proceeds from the night’s event support TeamTony’s mission to ensure no one on Florida’s Suncoast faces cancer alone. From one-on-one peer mentoring; specific fighter, caregiver and grief support resources; and financial assistance for treatment-related costs, your generosity provides a lifeline to local cancer fighters, survivors, and caregivers across Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties.

In 2025 alone, Team Tony provided over $92,000 in medical assistance grants and supported more than 160 individuals through our peer-to-peer mentoring program. Every ticket, every bid, every sponsorship fuels that work.
