BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, January 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a dazzling celebration of its 15th anniversary, Boca West Children’s Foundation (BWCF) hosted a sold-out gala January 18, 2025, at the Boca West Country Club, raising a record $1.3 million in support of local, at-risk children in Palm Beach County. Attended by hundreds of philanthropic leaders and community supporters, the milestone event featured a live performance by Grammy Award–winning artist Wynonna Judd, capping an unforgettable evening of celebration and hope for the future.

Since its inception, BWCF has raised more than $20 million and collaborated with dozens of local charity partners to address critical needs such as hunger relief, emergency shelter, education, and healthcare for children in need. Executive Director Pamela Weinroth notes that this year’s proceeds will fund programs aimed at breaking the cycle of abuse, neglect, hunger, and poverty. “The extraordinary outpouring of support at our 15th Anniversary Gala enables us to address urgent needs among disadvantaged children across Palm Beach County,” Weinroth says. “It also reminds us of what’s possible when a compassionate community comes together for its children.”

As part of the evening’s celebration, the organization honored notable community philanthropists and supporters for their impact on the foundation’s mission, including:
• Avron and Wendy Fogelman of Boca Raton, who received the Golden Heart Award in recognition of their leadership and enduring philanthropic contributions.
• Marilyn and Jay Weinberg of Boca Raton, who were honored with the Legacy of Love Award for their long-time support of the foundation’s programs and outreach.
