Ruth Rales JFS Annual Gala
Imagine... A Night of Fantasy
Michele & Larry Blair, Craig Donoff P.A. to Be Honored
A truly “fantastic” evening is in store on December
12, 2013 at 6:30
pm. That’s when more than 300 prominent guests will gather
at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton for “Imagine… a
Night of Fantasy,” the Ruth
Rales Jewish Family Service (JFS)
Annual Gala and Auction.
“From the moment they enter the spirited cocktail reception,
through dinner, entertainment and dancing, we’ll transport
our guests into an incredible night to remember,” said
Roxane Lipton, who is co-chairing the Gala with Wendy Legum
and Jill Viner. “They’ll also be bidding for an “out of this
world” array of luxury items including exquisite jewelry and
fashions and sports memorabilia, as well as sports and
travel packages.”
“This major yearly fundraiser enables JFS to meet rising
needs for the wide array of essential programs and services
on which the community has come to depend for 34 years,”
said Jill Viner. “It has been an honor and privilege for me
to help our community with JFS for more than 18 years. JFS
supporters know we are helping provide thousands with food
and financial assistance, senior and family services,
counseling and mental health care, mentoring and many
volunteer activities.”
“Michele and Larry Blair will receive this year’s Ruth and
Norman Rales Humanitarian of the Year Award at the gala, in
recognition of their extensive hands-on volunteer service
and leadership,” said Wendy Legum. “Among their JFS efforts,
Larry’s ten years on the Board include four as Chair.
Michele has chaired JFS events, including this season’s
Reflections of Hope Luncheon. Together,
they have touched the lives of countless individuals.”
“We are re also excited to present the inaugural Corporate
Leadership Award to Craig Donoff, P.A.,” continued Legum.
“For more than 28 years, this boutique law firm focused on
estate planning, trust administration and probate has
proudly and passionately supported many worthy community
organizations with which their clients, attorneys, and staff
are actively involved. JFS is fortunate and proud to be
among these causes.”
