It was a magical evening at the Georgia Aquarium this weekend as Future and his FreeWishes Foundation hosted their 8th annual Golden Wishes Gala honoring Metro Atlanta Seniors.

More than 750 seniors dressed in their finest attire attended the annual Gala. Seniors danced the night away to live jazz music provided by the Douglas Whatley Jr. Band and hits spun by DJ Bluue. The seniors enjoyed a luscious Thanksgiving styled dinner in the spectacular setting of the Ocean’s Ballroom. Seniors learned about Future’s FreeWishes foundation, their ongoing community events, and ways to be involved.
