A night centered on giving back delivered big results, with the third annual Heart to Heart Dinner generating $355,000 to support local youth through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.
Designed to be both covered and hurricane-resistant, the new pavilion will provide a safe, year-round space where children can learn, play, and connect—shielded from South Florida’s intense sun and unpredictable weather. The structure will also support critical programming, outdoor enrichment, and summer meal service for hundreds of Club members.
Held at The Little Club at Gulf Stream, the evening honored Virginia & Will Costa for their commitment to the community and was expertly co-chaired by Hannah Childs and Susan Mullin, whose leadership helped elevate the event to new heights. A powerful “Call to Heart” moment inspired guests to give generously, raising $146,000 in a single appeal to directly support the pavilion project.
“The reason for any fundraiser’s success is in hard work and dedication of the co-chairs, and a huge thank you goes out to Hannah and Susan for making this an evening to remember. This outdoor pavilion at our beloved Delray Club will make a generational impact to so many children as they learn and play in our beautiful outdoor environment,” said Jaene Miranda, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.
Guests enjoyed an elegant evening featuring a live auction, along with a curated boutique experience showcasing luxury handbags from Harper Lawrence and fine jewelry from Elizabeth Sayles—adding a sophisticated flair to an already memorable night.
As the Heart to Heart Dinner continues to grow, so does its impact—ensuring that more children across Palm Beach County have access to safe spaces, meaningful programs, and brighter futures.
