One of Fort Lauderdale’s most beloved foodie events is back for another year of incredible flavors and a powerful mission. Eat Your Heart Out presented by BBI, the Heart Gallery of Broward County’s signature culinary fundraiser, returns to Galleria Fort Lauderdale on Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The event benefits the Heart Gallery of Broward County, an esteemed nonprofit dedicated to promoting adoption and enrichment programs for Broward’s foster youth. Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening of delicious bites, craft drinks, and live entertainment — all supporting the mission to help local children find permanent homes and thrive.

The Heart Gallery's mission is to provide innovative programs that help to promote the adoption and enrichment of Broward's foster youth. It is one of over 100 independent heart galleries across the country, the first Heart Gallery was established in 2001. We work closely with ChildNet and the local foster care providers to seek adoptive families and other connections for these youth. Locally established in October of 2006, the first exhibit was introduced in Broward the month of April of 2007.
