The Boca Raton Museum of
Art’s 2010 Annual Gala
was held on
February 27 at the Boca
Raton Resort & Club.
The high-energy evening
took its theme from the
upcoming exhibit,
Elvis at 21: Photographs
by Alfred Wertheimer.
A musical tribute to
Elvis Presley performed
by artist
Chris McDonald took on-lookers back in time to the beginnings of rock and
roll.
Under the chairmanship
of Gail and Adam Bankier
the event raised crucial
funding for the Museum’s
future educational
programs and exhibits.
Honorary Chairs, Dani
and Jack Sonnenblick,
were recognized and
thanked for their
generous support of the
Museum that has spanned
more than twenty years.
The evening’s
festivities also
included the
presentation of the
Museum’s Jean Spence
Award to Bill Wolgin in
acknowledgement of two
decades of dedicated
service and commitment.
Major sponsors of the
Gala were Sara Jo
Kobacker, Karen Mashkin,
and Edith & Martin
Stein. Additional
support was generously
provided by Lee & Donald
Geller, Minette
Hoffheimer, Beatrice
Cummings Mayer, Margot &
Harold Schiff, Phyllis &
Leonard Greenberg, and
Publix Super Markets
Charities.
The evenings raffle and
silent auction prizes
were made possible by

Resort & Club, Boca Rio
Golf Club, NY Prime,
Proenza Schuler,
Seabourne Cruises and
