FGCU Athletics’ 16th annual Night at the Nest Gala Dec. 10
Florida Gulf Coast University Athletics will host its 16th annual Night at the Nest Gala Thursday, Dec. 10, at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa. Marking the first venue change ever for the event, the new location provides an elevated setting for FGCU Athletics’ signature fundraising event, which brings together alumni, fans, community leaders and supporters for an evening of celebration, connection and impact benefiting more than 265 FGCU student-athletes.
The change reflects updates to FGCU’s academic calendar, with commencement activities now taking place in Alico Arena during the gala’s traditional timeframe.
Building on the momentum of a record-setting 2025 event that generated nearly $1.5 million, the 2026 gala at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point will feature a cocktail reception, live auction and dining experience.
Reservations will be available for $3,000 per table of 10. Sponsorship opportunities are available now and a limited number of individual tickets will be offered. For more information, visit fgcu.edu/natn.
