BOCA
RATON, Fla., Dec. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Many children in Palm Beach County will not have a full holiday
celebration this year. Boca West Children's Foundation changed that
for 150 children from the Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton and Delray Beach at the BWCF 15th
Anniversary Adopt a Family/Home for the Holidays Shopping Event,
held Sunday, December 15, 2024. BWCF
treated children to a shopping spree followed by a festive brunch
and celebration, underscoring BWCF's commitment to uplift
vulnerable youth.
With the support of the Palm Beach
County Sheriff's Office (PBSO), each child received
$75 to shop for new clothes at Old
Navy with the help of BWCF volunteers. The children then gathered
at Boca West Country Club for a memorable brunch featuring live
music, a magician, professional photography, and therapy dogs from
PBSO and Semper Fi. Each child also
took home a harvest basket to share, a cuddly Squishmallow donated
by Jazwares and a holiday gift, making the celebration even more
memorable.
"This event exemplifies what the holiday season is about —
bringing joy and hope to children," says Pamela Weinroth, executive director of Boca West
Children's Foundation. "We are grateful to our community partners
and volunteers who helped make this event special for kids who may
not otherwise get to celebrate the holidays."
"This celebration shines a light on the power of our community
coming together," says Jaene
Miranda, president & CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of
Palm Beach County. "When
organizations like Boca West Children's Foundation invest in the
next generation's future, we help them grow into confident leaders
and shape brighter futures across Palm
Beach County."
