The Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s 2026 Magic Under the Mangroves gala raised more than $2.04 million net to support the organization’s environmental science, policy, education and wildlife rehabilitation programs — the second-highest total in the event’s history. Approximately 400 guests attended the 22nd annual event, held at The Ritz-Carlton, Tiburón in Naples, where the resort’s culinary team created the cuisine, complemented by a theatrical opening performance inspired by the western Everglades.
