Collier Companies will host its first food truck rally to benefit Gators March for Babies and the March of Dimes at the Enclave apartments on Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m.
Ten percent of all sales will go directly to the charity, said Jennifer Cowie, Enclave marketing manager.
Vendors confirmed for the event include Charlie’s Snow Shack, Go Go Stuff Yourself, Humble Pie, Off the Griddle and Sherri’s Pop Up.
Kyle Croft, local director for Gainesville March of Dimes, said Collier Companies is one of the organization’s biggest sponsors, and Gators March for Babies is the No. 1 collegiate walk in the country.
The fundraising team that raises the most money will receive the Collier cup trophy, Cowie said.
Because the rally will be held at the Enclave apartments, parking will be ample and it will allow more people to attend, Cowie said.
At the event, patrons can check in via social media and be entered to win a $50 gift card.
Brett Ader, the owner of Humble Pie, said these events tend to be a success for both vendors and residents.
“A lot of these events are so well-attended that they sell out,” he said.
