The vintage circus themed event will take place on Friday, January 7, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. at Wycliffe Country Club, 650 Wycliffe Country Club Blvd., Wellington, Fla. Proceeds will benefit critical programming at Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington. The event will also honor the legacy of Neil Hirsch who passed away in June.
“It is an honor to partner with an organization that provides opportunities for our local Wellington youth to grow and thrive in a safe environment,” said Event Chair Ana Ferwerda. “We are especially excited to host this event in honor of Neil S. Hirsch. Please join us for an evening of giving that will help support the children of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.”
The evening will begin with a cocktail hour including hors d’oeuvres and a specialty cocktail from the High Goal Luxury Gin liquor line donated by celebrity polo player, Nic Roldan. HyRyZe Band will perform live, while guests enjoy vintage circus entertainers including a tarot card reader, jugglers, a magician performing mentalist magic acts, and contortionists performing inside of vehicles provided by Aston Martin of Meyers Auto Group of Palm Beach. Wellington Club members will perform a dance and circus act, while guests enjoy a sit-down dinner.
