Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County proudly announced that its 7th Annual Securing Our Future Soirée raised an impressive $290,000 in just one night to support teen programs and operations at the Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton. The elegant event, held at the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, carried a nautical “Horizon of Hope” theme and featured silent and live auctions, as well as a dueling piano performance that kept guests entertained throughout the evening.
The soirée was co-chaired by Jessica Miley and Kathleen Cammarata, with Michelle Hagerty serving as honorary chairwoman after successfully leading the event the past two years.
“It was an honor to co-chair this wonderful event alongside my mom, Kathy Cammarata,” said Jessica Miley. “We’re especially grateful to Michelle Hagerty for her ongoing support.
