Generation W Honors is our signature fundraising event, created to raise critical funds that fuel the programs, experiences and connections at the heart of Generation W and Generation WOW.
On August 27, 2026, our community came together at The Alhambra Theatre & Dining in Jacksonville for the inaugural Generation W Honors. We celebrated the people who make a difference, heard directly from the next generation and, most importantly, came together to invest in the work that matters.
And Jacksonville showed up.
These funds will help Generation W continue expanding mentorship, school-based programming, career experiences, WOW: The Experience and other opportunities that help young people discover what’s possible.
The celebration may be over, but you can still be part of what comes next.
THE NUMBER TELLS PART OF THE STORY
The Impact of Generation WOW can be measured in more than dollars.
And that is exactly why this work matters.
Because sometimes a new possibility begins with something very simple:
Someone believed in you. Someone opened a door. Someone said, “What if?”
Generation W helps create more of those moments.
CELEBRATING PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP
While raising critical funds was at the heart of Generation W Honors, we also took the evening to recognize three people who embody the spirit of giving back and investing in community.
Our inaugural honorees were selected because they don’t simply talk about making a difference.
They show up and do it.
