It came as no surprise that Metro’s White
Party on May 3 was the season’s premier night out for
young Jewish couples and singles in their 20s, 30s and
40s. Featuring Doug Ellin, creator of HBO’s “Entourage,”
Boca Raton’s most breathtaking ocean views and exclusive
penthouse event space, a DJ from Miami’s ULTRA Music
Festival and the finest young Jewish companions, it
couldn’t miss.
Many of the nearly 175 guests, chicly clad in white, had
never attended a Federation event - or certainly not one
that resembled the uniquely elegant White Party – but
they’ll be back. They laughed, rocked, enjoyed top
quality cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and looked out at
a 270 degree expanse of sea and sand from the 4,500
square foot balcony and 9,000 square foot white interior
of Penthouse Two at One Thousand Ocean. And they would
have gone on soaking up the ambiance and the company all
night.
Headliner Ellin was a true crowd pleaser,
bringing everyone into his entourage. He mingled, posed
for photographs, spoke and answered their questions
about his wildly successful Hollywood career, as well as
how he personally gives back to the Jewish community.
Richard & Shayna Martinoff, Erik & Hillary Rosenstrauch,
and Craig & Jennifer Zeuner co-chaired an unforgettable
dream of a night. In addition to the festivities, guests
felt the power and joy of being part of something larger
than themselves, joining together as young adults to
make a real difference in the lives of people in need.
The evening began with a VIP reception for prestigious
young Ben Gurion Society donors who make a minimum
$1,000 family gift to the Jewish Federation of South
Palm Beach County’s Annual Campaign.
The White Party was generously sponsored by Lesser,
Lesser Landy & Smith LLC and One Thousand Ocean. L’Chaim
Kosher Vodka was Exclusive Vodka Sponsor, and Atlas
Party Rental was Exclusive Party Rental Sponsor. The
Sandelman Foundation graciously sponsors the Metro
Division.
