MARCH OF DIMES GLITZ NIGHTCLUB

Palm Beach ¾  “Glitz Nightclub – Open for One Night Only” was the hottest party on the island on Saturday December 6^th at Mar-a-Lago Club.  Known as the sexiest and most sizzling ball in Palm Beach, March of Dimes Glitz Chairs Elizabeth Belkin, Maria Brown, and Leslie Linder along with Honorary Chairs Annie Falk and Lori Stoll, and Junior Chairs Benjamin Macfarland III pulled out all the stops this year and surpassed expectations when nearly 300 guests were treated to a unique nightclub experience.

                "Our goal was to raise over $400,000 for March of Dimes and to create an event like no other," said Glitz Chairs.  “This year we took Glitz to another level with a new venue that was all the glamour and pizzazz event goers expect from Glitz.”

                From the cocktail area with music by DJ Jean Marc where extremely large bouncers guarded the red carpet entrance to the Grand Ballroom converted into a one-of- a-kind nightclub with spectacular décor, colorful lighting, and entertainment by the one and only Bruce Sutka, attendees were enthralled with the transformation.

                Guests were also treated to non-stop dance music by Mel Ball and Colours, fantastic food and drink, a wide array of best bid items, as well as luxury live auction items. Live Auction raised over $68,000 event night including items like a BVLGARI watch which sold for $12,500 to Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Beyer who generously donated it back and which then sold for another $10,500 to Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Gerard; a trip on board the luxury motor yacht ALLISON Sunseeker 90 during summer in the Mediterranean or off the coast for 7 days for 8 people; a private party for 100 with catering by Forte Di Asprinio, liquor and go-go dancers provided by Palm Beach Proper Vodka, décor by Bruce Sutka of Sutka Productions International, Inc., and music by Jean Marc; and V1 JETS Seaplane Service for 8 with a catered lunch by Café Sapori beachside on a private island in the Florida Keys.

                The program included WPBF Channel 25’s Felicia Rodriquez acting as mistress of ceremonies and auctioneer along with professional Bill Hood; Abdol Moabery, the father of the evening’s Ambassador child, Chase Moabery; former Judge Bill Berger representing Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, Attorneys at Law; and Dinner Chair Donald Trump who introduced Florida’s governor by saying, “When asked by Governor Crist about the event, I told him I love the March of Dimes, I’ll do anything for March of Dimes.” Governor Charlie Crist then thanked guests for their attendance and support of March of Dimes and their mission to insure that all babies receive a healthy start.
