Six
Portraits of Honorees by Artist & Benefit Founder
Renee Plevy Were Unveiled at the Inaugural Luncheon
The
inaugural Portrait of a Woman Spring Luncheon was
held on March 22 at a private club Palm Beach. “More
than 115 supporters attended the successful fundraising
luncheon for Quantum House while simultaneously honoring
nine incredible local ladies during Women’s History
Month,” said benefit founder Renee D. Plevy, who
is also a celebrated portrait artist.
“This event saluted
accomplished women throughout Palm Beach County for their
major long-term contributions to our communities, as well as
to individuals, businesses, civic organizations and
charities,” agreed event Co-Chair
Bobbi Shorr.
“We wanted to inspire others
to get involved just like our Matriarchs and Honorees have
throughout their lives,”
added Plevy.
The
ladies honored at the recent Portrait of a Woman Spring
Luncheon were Dorothy Sullivan (Grand
Honoree), the Countess de Hoernle (Grand
Honorary Matriarch), Honorary Matriarchs Helen
Babione and Suzy Minkoff, and five special
Honorees Bobbi Horwich, Lynda Levitsky, Jacie Keeley,
Sherry Frankel and Dr. Maria M. Vallejo.
The
distinguished ladies were honored in a unique and very
personal way at the Luncheon with the official unveiling
of original oil portraits of the honorees, all painted
by artist and businesswoman
Renee Plevy, who founded the event.
“We are
very pleased to announced that the first Portrait of a
Woman Spring Luncheon raised significant funds to
benefit Quantum House, a nonprofit hospital
hospitality house, the only facility of its kind between
Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Florida. Quantum House was
established in May 2001 to provide a caring and
supportive home that lessens the burden for families
whose children are receiving treatment in Palm Beach
County for a serious medical condition,” says Plevy.
Luncheon
highlights included emcee Tim Byrd (The Byrdman),
singer Philippe, the moving video tribute to
Countess de Hoernle and the other honorees by
videographer Jack Schulman, and the emotional
display of all the beautiful portraits of the honorees.
Gina Sullivan unveiled the 24 x 30 oil portrait of her
grandmother, Grand Honoree Dorothy Sullivan.
Committee members for the first Portrait of a Woman
Spring Luncheon include Lani Click, Lina Blanco
Jankus, Maya Johnson, Roberta Jurney, Peggy Kelleher and Patricia
Turner.
Event sponsors were Sherry Plevy Arenstein, Etonella
Christlieb, Monica Erickson, Dolly Hand and the
Palm Beach State College Foundation.
The
Portrait of a Woman Exhibition will open with a
Reception on May 3 and run through June 3 at the Jan &
Gary Dario Gallery, located on the Lake Worth campus of
Palm Beach State College.
