PALM BEACH, FL. -
With a packed ballroom and celebrities galore,
Hospice of Palm Beach County proudly kicked off
their 1st Annual Celebrity Pro-Am weekend. The
event, which began at The Breakers Palm Beach on
November 20, 2009, treated supporters of Hospice of
Palm Beach County to an evening of dancing, mingling
and an opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind items in
the fabulous silent auction.
“We are very happy with the success of this
inaugural event,” said Greg Leach, President of
Hospice of Palm Beach County Foundation. “The
community has shown an outpouring of support for our
organization this past year. As I see most of those
faces here with us this weekend, I am overwhelmed
with a feeling of gratefulness to the people in this
community who help us do what we do.”
The weekend continued with a day of golf on the
incredible Breakers Rees Jones Course at Breakers
West. With a sold out roster of foursomes, guests
took to the green for a day of fun in the South
Florida sunshine while continuing to raise monies
for the programs and services Hospice of Palm Beach
County provides to the community, including
non-reimbursable services such as integrative
therapies, one of the Country’s largest music
therapy programs, and specialized bereavement
services. The winning foursome from sponsor Kool
105.5 took home the top prize.
