FORT MYERS, Fla. - TelAve -- A.N.A.'s Friends, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children in Southwest Florida who have been abused, neglected or abandoned, will host Harbor of Hope on March 26 at Harborside Garden in Punta Gorda.

The evening of dinner, live music by the Fred Johnson Quintet, raffles and a silent auction will raise money to support A.N.A.'s Friends mission of supporting local children who have been impacted by the dependency court system.

"Community support is the backbone of our mission, and events like Harbor of Hope remind us of what's possible when we come together with a purpose," said A.N.A.'s Friends CEO Jessica Stanfield.
