Wilmington, NC — The Landfall Foundation celebrated the spirit of Cinco de Mayo in style as its 2026 Annual Gala raised more than $460,000 in one exciting, funfilled evening. The festive event brought together community supporters for an unforgettable celebration benefiting nonprofit organizations across the greater Wilmington area.

The evening’s success reflects the strong and continued support of donors, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who share the Foundation’s commitment to making a local impact.
