The Addison’s Own Anniversary Benefits 10 Nonprofits
By Marci Shatzman
What better way to celebrate an upcoming 100th anniversary than by presenting $10,000 each to 10 deserving nonprofits.
That’s exactly what The Addison did at a morning reception at Boca’s historic venue, the special events space and original landmark estate of the city’s founding architect and developer. “Addison Mizner once walked these floors and created a vibrant community,” vice president Zoe Lanham said to welcome guests and the grant recipients.
The nonprofits were chosen in stages by a committee of 24 based on their mission, Lanham explained. The final 10 include these local nonprofits: Boca Raton Police Foundation, Impact 100 Palm Beach County, JARC Florida, Boca Raton Historical Society, Sweet Dream Makers and Twin Palms Center for the Disabled. A grant accepted by Florida Atlantic University Foundation will go White Coats-4-Care, an initiative supporting the incoming class at FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, Sara Greene, the medical school’s assistant director explained later. The historical society’s Grand Tasting during their Boca Bacchanal fund-
raising weekend, and Sweet Dreams’ fundraiser were held at The Addison, Lanham said.
The grants were also awarded to
these nonprofits, described on their websites: Great Plains Conservation, “which helps to manage several wildlife reserves in Kenya, Botswana and
Zimbabwe”; EmpowHERto, “enables young minority girls to believe in themselves by providing them with tools to thrive in life” and Friends of Foster Children based in West Palm Beach “replacing the negative stereotypes of the child welfare system with the positive possibilities for Palm Beach County children.”
The idea came to her when Lanham attended an Impact 100 event as a member to create another “way to give back. Every year we nominate three and we wanted to make it bigger and better.” The nonprofits had to be 5013cs (a nonprofit tax designation) and the “top 10 highest votes” received the grant, she explained, emphasizing “the importance of community and those who have and have not. We help when the moment is needed. We hope you can use these grants to further your mission,” she said.
Each nonprofit and their supporter, board and staffer posed for a check presentation photo and a group photo. The Addison set a date for their own anniversary event later this year together with the city of Boca Raton’s Centennial year, Lanham said.

What Are Your Ultimate Goals?
As business and professional people, what we do is governed at least in part by goals: Sales or productivity goals; daily goals; project goals; financial goals; career goals. You could probably add to the list. But have you ever thought in terms of life goals, the ultimate goal for your life?
Recently I viewed a brief video in which a pastor described a meeting with a businessman in his congregation. The businessman planned to leave the church because the pastor had offended him by something said in his sermon. The pastor asked about what had seemed so offensive.
The businessman recalled the pastor had commented it was unwise for someone to strive to make as much money as possible, then move to a popular retirement area and spend the rest of his life playing golf. The businessman was offended because that was what he intended to do – as soon as possible.
In response, the pastor suggested the businessman was trivializing his life, devoting the rest of his life to chasing a ball around a golf course instead of using his God-given gifts and experience to be an influence on people. He said, “When you give your life to Jesus Christ, He calls you to be an influencer – to use your power, abilities and talents to influence the world around you for good, making it a better place.”
Too often we spend our work hours eagerly awaiting the weekend. We spend our careers anxiously anticipating retirement so we can ‘finally do what I want to do.’ Have you ever considered that what you do at work, where you are currently doing it, is precisely what God wants you to do?
The entire Bible mentions retirement only once. In the Old Testament book of Numbers it says of the Levites, the ceremonial priests of Israel, “at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves must not do the work” (Numbers 8:25-26). God
had a succession plan for the priests who performed the ritual sacrifices, but even then, the “retired” priests were to continue assisting those who had taken their place.
We all are unique, having different interests, skills, life experiences, and for followers of Jesus Christ, spiritual gifts that God intends for us to use for His divine purposes. As Colossians 3:2324 states so clearly, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
There are times for rest and relaxation, as we have discussed in past editions of Monday Manna. But having a life goal of working only long enough to amass enough resources to be able to withdraw from the world and engage all our waking hours in activities of no eternal impact makes little sense.
In His so-called “Sermon on the Mount,” Jesus spoke of focusing on things that will last for eternity: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19-20). Golf, or whatever pastime we choose, may be enjoyable, but we are unlikely to find much treasure there that will last for eternity.
“Use the truth to make them holy. Your words are truth.” John 17:17 (GW)
If you want to change any area of your life, you need to know and apply what God says is the truth about that specific area.
If you want to change your finances, you’ve got to know what God has said about finances and apply that truth to your life. If you want to change your marriage, you’ve got to know what God has said about marriage and apply that truth to your life.
How do you know the truth? Jesus prayed in John 17:17, “Use the truth to make them holy. Your words are truth” (GW).
The theological term for being made holy is “sanctification.” Sanctification means to grow up, to be transformed, to become the way God wants you to be. You are sanctified—or grow up—by knowing and obeying God’s Word.
Ephesians 4:15 says in the Living Bible paraphrase, “We will lovingly follow the truth at all times—speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly—and so become more and more in every way like Christ.”
You’ve got to know the truth if your life is going to be transformed. Why? Because every self-defeating behavior is based on a lie you’re believing. If you want to change your life, you’ve got to identify the lie and say, “That’s just not true.” Then you change the way you think.
Maybe you believe a lie about your past or even your future, and it’s shaping the way you look at your life. It’s so much harder to grow spiritually when you don’t know and believe what God says is true about your past, your present, and your future.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT).
The Bible shows us the path to walk on. It shows us when we get off the path. It shows us how to get back on the path. And it shows us how to stay on the path. We cannot know which way to go without the truth of God’s Word. It’s the only way to know what is right and true.
Transformation comes through truth. The more you get into God’s Word, the more it’s going to change the way you think. Once it changes the way you think, then it can change your life.
Talk It Over
What are some lies you have chosen to believe about your past?
In what ways will you change your Bible study habits so you can know more of God’s truth?
What is the truth we can know about the future? How does it shape our lives today?

SOLVITUR AMBULANDO
By: Douglas G Logan
We Survived The Last One
Some things that happen for the first time
Seems to be happening again
And so it seems we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
Twenty-eight National Guard soldiers fired about 67 rounds over 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis. It was May 4, 1970, on the Kent State campus. John Filo’s Pulitzer Prize winning image of Mary Ann Vecchio galvanized the conscience of America. We were never the same again.
Or, are we?
In a foolhardy political move, Trump has mobilized 2,000 National Guardsmen and deployed them to downtown LA. In response to a sparse crowd of protestors, expressing opposition to ICE, and some of their brutish tactics in an immigrant roundup. The situation is tense; a reminder of the Kent State confrontation some 55 years ago.
“The situation has all the elements that the president seeks: a showdown
with a top political rival in a deep blue state over an issue core to his agenda.”
So said The NY Times this morning. Politics. Confrontation. Bravado. Po larization.
“Seems to be happening again”
It is my fervent hope that this imprudent confrontation gets de-escalated. I certainly hope the Guard is not armed with live ammunition, that they are effectively led, that they are disciplined. Regardless of what some may think, alleged spitting on an officer of the law is no justification for the use of deadly force. Period! Far more happens at 4:00 am in Saratoga Springs on Caroline Street when the bars close.
I would also caution against over-reaction. We have been here before and survived. Militaristic over-reach by Republican Presidents, like Nixon and Trump, has, and will result in payback at the ballot box. Those who choose to demonstrate should heed the words of Ghandi and MLK.
For those who are cheering the moves by Trump, I am reminded of the words of Hunter Thompson.

Boca Raton’s Fuller Center Launches Urgent Summer Appeal to Bridge the Opportunity Gap for Children
BOCA RATON, Fla. — As the Florida summer heat intensifies, so does the urgency surrounding the Fuller Center’s annual “Be a Champion for a Child This Summer!” appeal. This vital initiative seeks to raise critical funds to support over 1,100 children in Boca Raton and surrounding communities during their summer break. With school out, many families in the center’s expansive 40-plus zip code service area face a challenging reality: ensuring their children are safe, fed, and intellectually engaged while they work.
“Building strong communities starts with building strong kids,” states Eric Roby, CEO of the Fuller Center. This mantra underscores the organization’s mission to provide a holistic summer experience that goes beyond mere childcare. This year’s appeal is particularly focused on addressing the “summer slide,” an academic regression often experienced by children when they are out of school for extended periods.
The Fuller Center’s summer program offers a comprehensive approach, including an Emergency Summer Literacy Program, launched to address learning loss exacerbated by the pandemic. This program provides specialized assistance to help students perform at grade level. Additionally, the center incorporates STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Hands-on projects, exciting field trips, and nutritious meals are also integral components of the summer program. For many children, the meals provided by the Fuller Center are essential, ensuring they do not go hungry during the summer months. Moreover, the center offers a safe, supervised
environment, providing peace of mind to working parents who might otherwise have to leave their children unsupervised.
The challenge faced by families like Maria’s, a single mother working two jobs, highlights the crucial role the Fuller Center plays. Without access to affordable, high-quality summer programs, many children risk falling behind academically or spending their days unsupervised. The appeal outlines various levels of support, from sponsoring a child’s entire nine-week camp experience for $2,500 to providing weekly meals for $100.
The Fuller Center’s commitment extends beyond summer programs. They also provide year-round services, including infant care, early childhood education, afterschool programs, elementary school (K-3rd grade), teen leadership program, and family empowerment services. These initiatives work in concert to build strong, stable, and self-sufficient households.
“When we invest in children, we invest in the future of our entire community!” Roby emphasizes, urging the community to contribute to the appeal. Donations can be made through the Fuller Center’s website, offering a direct way to impact the lives of local children and families.
The future of our community’s children is in our hands. By becoming a Champion for a Child this summer, you provide more than just temporary assistance; you invest in their long-term success and well-being. Visit the Fuller Center’s website today to make a donation and help build a brighter future for over 1,100 deserving kids. Your support, at any level, makes a profound difference. Act now and be a champion!
Make Fire Safety A Priority This National Homeowners Month
(StatePoint) Home fires today are burning hotter and faster and causing more damage than ever before, according to National Fire Protection Association data. This is why every second counts when it comes to a fire emergency.
June is National Homeowners Month, which is a great opportunity to evaluate your home safety devices and make upgrades where necessary.
A new partnership between Kidde, a trusted leader in fire safety for more than 100 years, and Ring, has delivered a cutting-edge collection of Smart Smoke and Combination Alarms (Smoke + CO) featuring seamless integration into the Ring app.
Combining Kidde’s advanced smoke and carbon monoxide sensors that provide quicker, more accurate alerts (29% faster average smoke detection based on internal testing of smoldering wood fires for Kidde 9th Edition vs. leading competitor 8th Edition products) with built-in smart technology, you can better protect your home from anywhere. Whether you’re at home, at work, or on vacation, you’ll receive instant notifications through the Ring app if unsafe levels of smoke or carbon monoxide are detected, allowing you to take immediate action. Ring also offers an optional 24/7 Smoke & CO Monitoring subscription service ($5/month), where trained agents can request emergency help and alert your emergency contacts in the event of an alarm.
smooth operation of your home safety equipment. For example, the Ring app notifies you when your devices’ batteries are low approximately seven days prior to the device chirping, so you can ensure operation with no down time. And Kidde’s enhanced sensing technology reduces false alarms often caused by cooking—a leading reason people disable their devices. And it doesn’t stop there. Once you install one of these smart alarms in your home, you can receive real-time alerts from your other eligible hardwired Kidde products to create a connected home that helps keep you and your family safe.
Remember, having working smoke alarms in the home can double the likelihood of safely escaping a house fire in the event of an emergency and are there to help protect you round-theclock. That’s why it’s important to install them throughout the house, including the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, hallways, basement and garage. As an additional safety measure, you should also be prepared to tackle small fires quickly. Keep fire extinguishers in key areas, including the kitchen, basement and garage.
These new alarms are available now, exclusively at The Home Depot, and will be rolling out to other retailers later this year. To learn more about the intersection of home safety equipment and smart technology, as well as to find fire and CO safety tips, visit kidde.com.
What to Do During Times of Economic Uncertainty

If you have recently lost your job, or are concerned you might, here are steps you can take now:
Get the picture: Take an inventory of your full financial picture, including income, average monthly expenses and assets. Understanding how much it costs you to live, minus discretionary spending, can give you an idea of how long you can survive on your liquid assets. This is also a good time to consider what spending you can cut back on and, if possible, how to build your emergency fund.
look for coverage in the Health Insurance Marketplace at HealthCare.gov.
Get help: Affordable help may be available to you. More than 200 CFP® professionals have volunteered to offer no-cost or reduced-rate services to federal government employees. Visit https://www.cfp.net/fedworkers to find help near you.
Market Volatility
Market volatility can be nerve-racking for investors, but CFP® professionals say these tips can help you weather periods of uncertainty:
“We believe these alarms represent a major step forward in whole home safety, and we’re excited to get them into the hands of consumers,” says Isis Wu, president of Global Residential Fire & Safety at Kidde.
Additional features can ensure
“Humans are flawed. We forget things, we mess up, and we assume a home fire and other emergencies will never happen to us,” says Wu. “Unfortunately, no home is impervious to an emergency, making the proper safety precautions essential for every household.”
Act wisely: Whether you’re a federal employee with a Thrift Savings Plan or you work in the private sector and have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, it’s important to act with caution, not fear. If you lose your job and take a full distribution from your retirement account, that full distribution can come with tax penalties and leave you ill-prepared for the future. Instead, if you suffer a job loss, consider leaving your retirement accounts untouched or rolling them over into an IRA. Federal employees should also reach out to the Office of Personnel Management or their specific agency to learn what benefits they’re eligible for.
Plan for health insurance: During a job transition, determine whether you will opt for COBRA coverage of your existing health plan or join a spouse or domestic partner’s plan. Keep in mind that COBRA coverage is temporary and often more expensive. You could also
Understand the history: Historic events such as Black Monday in 1987 and the COVID-19 crash in 2020 bear a consistent pattern. After a period of downturn, markets generally have rebounded with resilience. So, when the market declines, stay the course and give investments a chance to recover. A good rule of thumb is to only make significant changes to your financial strategy when your situation changes, not when the world does. While this can be easier said than done, avoiding sensational financial news and social media chatter can reduce anxiety. If you have concerns, lean on reputable sources for guidance, such as your CFP® professional.
Diversify: A diversified portfolio is more durable during tough financial times. Make sure your assets include a balance of investments that works well in different market environments.
Seek expert guidance: A recent CFP® professional-led webinar “The Power of a Plan: Navigating Market Uncertainty With Confidence,” which delved into the current state of the markets and provided general educational tools for investors, is available to all online. For tailored financial guidance, visit www.LetsMakeAPlan.org to find a CFP® professional who meets your needs.
Concerned about your finances? You’re not alone. During periods of uncezrtainty, lean on reliable resources to make a smart financial plan.

Fort Lauderdale-based Silver Airways shuts down
After a bankruptcy process where no solution was found, Silver Airways, a Fort Lauderdale-based regional airline that provided service within Florida, the Southeast United States and the Caribbean has shut down. The airline has ceased all operations and customers who had booked future travel with the airline will be issued refunds. Silver released the following state -
ment late last night: As recently as 2022 Silver’s network was extensive within the state and to nearby regional points. Now, the airline is gone and in all likelihood its routes will not be picked up by other carriers other than perhaps some of the Fort Lauderdale-Bahamas segments that have now been abandoned. Below is a Silver route map from 2014.
Camp Bow Wow Shares Expert Tips To Keep Dogs Safe and Included During Fourth of July Celebrations
Boca Raton, FL – June 11, 2025 –As July Fourth approaches, Camp Bow Wow, a leading dog daycare and boarding provider for 25 years, is helping pet parents navigate the holiday’s unique challenges with expert safety tips and creative ways to include furry family members in their celebrations.
According to Pet Amber Alert, there is a 30-60% increase in lost pets reported from July 4-6 each year, and The Animal Rescue Site says July 5 is the busiest day of the year for animal shelters due to scared animals running away from home during holiday festivities.
“The combination of loud noises, crowds and summer heat creates a perfect storm of stress for many dogs during Independence Day celebrations,” said Erin Askeland, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, Camp Bow Wow’s animal health and behavior expert. “With some thoughtful planning, pet parents can keep their dogs safe while still including them in the fun.”
Askeland offers these top five tips for safely including dogs in popular Fourth of July activities:
Parades:
Safety: If your dog is comfortable in crowds, secure a quieter viewing spot early, keep them leashed with ID tags and bring plenty of water.
Fun: Let confident dogs join the fun as a mini-marcher with a decorated harness and leash or other patriotic-themed accessories.
Fireworks Shows:
Safety: For most dogs, it’s safest to leave them at home in a secure space with white noise or calming music playing. Provide comfort tools like anxiety vests, pheromone spray and a lick mat to help reduce stress during the show.
Fun: Get pups outside early in the day for a walk before any local shows begin. Allow dogs to enjoy a calm activity, such as a snuffle mat or frozen treat, in a quiet, secure space during the festivities.
Backyard Barbecues:
Safety: Create a designated dog-safe
area with shade and fresh water, keeping pups away from grills, hot surfaces and toxic foods like onions and grapes.
Fun: Set up a treat-foraging game in the yard away from the cooking area. Toss some of your pup’s favorite treats in the grass and let them sniff around to find them.
Block Parties:
Safety: Keep dogs leashed, provide space from overwhelming crowds, bring fresh drinking water and check pavement temperatures to protect paw pads. Be ready to leave if they start to show signs of stress such as panting, yawning, lip-licking or avoidance.
Fun: Consider setting up a dog-friendly zone with a small bubble machine or pup pool.
Water Activities:
Safety: If your dog isn’t a strong swimmer, use canine life vests for water play, and always supervise water playtime. Ensure your dog doesn’t drink pool or lake water by providing fresh water, and also check for hot sand or pool decking that could burn paw pads.
Fun: Bring floating toys to play fetch in shallow water and set up shaded rest areas with cooling mats.
For pet parents unable to stay home with anxious dogs or bring their pups along for the fun, Camp Bow Wow offers boarding services with indoor, climate-controlled play yards where dogs can socialize safely, as well as a safe and secure cabin to rest away from holiday stressors. New Campers can enjoy their first day of Camp free by signing up at campbowwow.com.

Boca’s Downtown Softball Fields Move Approved
By Marci Shatzman
The first step in relocating Boca Raton’s downtown softball fields to a site in Sugar Sand Park off Military Trail was approved, pending city council’s OK at their July 15 meeting.
“Once approved by both parties, the city will proceed with design and permitting and bring forward a finalized site plan and construction timeline for board review,” according to an interlocal agreement with the city approved by commissioners at the June 16 Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District meeting. The district oversees Sugar Sand Park, Patch Reef Park and other public recreational facilities.
Relocating three or four softball fields downtown is part of the city’s proposed Downtown Government Complex plan. “There’s just picnic tables there now,” Briann Harms, executive director, told commissioners about the new site in Sugar Sand bordered by Camino Real and the CSX tracks that intersect 18th Street.
Here’s some other provisions in the interlocal agreement:
The city shall design and build, at its own cost and expense, a modernized
softball complex on the portion of Tract A of Sugar Sand Park.
The complex shall include fencing, hitting stations and batting cages,
dugout spaces with benches and shade structures, bleachers/stands for viewing softball games, a facility for drink/snack concessions with press boxes built in a
similar style to the existing concession facilities, roadways and walking paths, public restroom facilities and new parking sufficient to accommodate the expected users.
All revenues generated by the complex, including ballfield reservation fees and concessions will be retained by the district.
Prior to commencing construction of the complex, the city shall present to the district for approval a detailed site plan with architectural renderings and specifications regarding acreage used, number of fields, number and types of structures, planned drainage and irrigation, and placement and volume of parking. The site plan shall be subject to the approval by district.
The existing parking at Sugar Sand Park shall not be included in the parking calculations for the complex.
Closure of the park for construction will be avoided except when absolutely necessary, as determined by the city.
The district has also agreed to relocate the city’s Tim Huxhold Skate Park to a site in their planned North Park in Boca Teeca.

The Coastal Stewards Announces Closure of Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center
Boca Raton, FL – June 16, 2025 –The Coastal Stewards, a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the protection and study of marine life and the coastal ecosystem, announced today the closure of its Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center to the public, effective immediately. This decision was made by the organization’s Board of Trustees following a comprehensive review of its strategic priorities amid ongoing financial challenges.
“Like many environmental nonprofits, The Coastal Stewards has faced increasing difficulty securing consistent and sustainable funding,” said Shivani Gupta, Board of Trustee Member at The Coastal Stewards. “This difficult decision allows us to reallocate resources and focus on our long-standing commitment to marine conservation education and empowering the next generation of ocean advocates.”
While public access to the rehabilitation center has ended, the 13 sea turtle patients currently under care will continue to receive veterinary attention onsite. The Coastal Stewards is working in close coordination with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to ensure their safe transfer to other licensed rehabilitation facilities. Details will be
shared once available.
This closure does not affect the three resident sea turtles housed in outdoor tanks at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, which remain on display and available for public viewing.
In addition, the Gift Store operated by The Coastal Stewards inside the
Nature Center has closed as part of this transition.
The Coastal Stewards remains steadfast in its mission and will continue to serve the community through educational programming, outreach, and advocacy for ocean health. Over the past few years, the nonprofit has
prioritized educational programming, including lectures, educational presentations, scholarships, beach clean-ups and more.
For ongoing updates and information on The Coastal Stewards’ future initiatives, please visit www.TheCoastalStewards.org or email admin@thecoastalstewards.org.
Our nonprofit was established in 1981 as The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center of South Palm Beach and evolved to the Friends of Gumbo Limbo and later to the Gumbo Limbo Coastal Stewards. Always an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, these guardians of the coastal environment and the marine life that call Southeast Florida home have funded education, research, and the sea turtle rehabilitation work since for more than 15 years. The mission of Coastal Stewards is to inspire people to support the stewardship and research of coastal and marine ecosystems. In 2023, The Coastal Stewards expanded its focus on the rescue, rehabilitation, research, and release of sea turtles to aid dolphins, manatees, and whales. The Coastal Stewards’ mission’s pillars—sustainability, engagement, and awareness—guide us toward a brighter, thriving coastal future. Learn more at www.thecoastalstewards.org.

Pros Perform at Open Mic/Cabaret Nights in Boca
By Marci Shatzman
Leave it to executive producer Marilynn Wick to keep live performances going over the summer until rehearsals start for her 12th season of five Broadway musical revivals opens on Oct. 9 and runs through May 24, 2026.
Industry Cabaret Open Mic Nights are 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. most Wednesdays in the Wick Theatre’s Museum Club. They offer actors who sing an appreciative audience in the off-season. This isn’t karaoke or amateur hour. The pros sing for free. But anyone can buy a ticket to hear seasoned performers and young talents.
It was a full house the evening we were there. Guests sat at tables and were served food and beverages in a separate area behind the theater usually reserved to showcase their extensive film and Broadway costume collection. That evening, it looked just like a New York Supper Club.
Barry Tarallo, who performed in “Grease” on Broadway, off-Broadway, in national tours and has racked up five Florida Critic’s Carbonells, was one of the singers that evening. Chris Janes, who describes her repertoire as “singing fan favorites,” said she now’s appearing at City Fish Market in Boca. Among the “rising stars,” Stella Macey, 12, has performed in “The Witches of Eastwick,” “Mary Poppins” and “Sweeney Todd.” She sang “Disneyland” from the musical “Smile.”
Zachary Kopelman was the Director’s Choice for his performances in previous Rotary Club of Boca Raton’s “Future Stars Youth Performing Arts Competitions.” A teenager now, he performs regionally winning Cappies and even started a group to encourage other young performers to share their talents with the community.
The emcee Aaron Bower is a musical theater actress who charmed the crowd with her singing acumen, insights and game show schtick like ‘Name That Tune.” A Carbonell nominee, Bower has toured in five major productions and been with the Wick since season one. At the baby grand is Jeff McDonnell, a musician, arranger and musical director whose career spans more than four decades in Philly, New Hope and New York. Marilynn Wick said Open Mic Cabaret Nights will continue through August. The well-known comedian Sarge will be there instead on June 25.
In other summer shows, Team Trivia Night Broadway Version is some Thursdays including June 19. Saturday June 21 is Italian Night in the Museum Club with four performers and dinner. July 4th includes a gourmet picnic at 11 a.m. and Nicole Henry’s Whitney Houston tribute at 2 p.m. Subscriptions for the regular theater season are on sale now. The Wick is at 7901 N. Federal Highway. https:// thewick.org/
Summer fun is in full STEAM! At Camp STEAMology, presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, kids dive into hands-on science and splash into bubbly adventures. There’s no better place to play, learn and explore!

The James Hardie™ Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational Returns in 2026 with Earlier Dates
Boca Raton, FL – June 16, 2025
– The James Hardie™ Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational is set to return for its second year at The Old Course at Broken Sound in Boca Raton, with tournament dates officially confirmed for March 2-8, 2026. This unique event will once again unite legends of the PGA TOUR Champions and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in a weeklong celebration of competition, community, and philanthropy.
Moving up four weeks from its 2025 debut, the new 2026 dates are expected to draw an even stronger field of elite PGA TOUR Champions players and Hall of Fame football greats to Palm Beach County. The tournament will once again feature 78 PGA TOUR Champions professionals and 26 football legends playing side-byside during Friday and Saturday’s competition rounds with the Champions Tour pros continuing through Sunday. The action kicks off midweek with
the fan-favorite Pro-Ams on Wednesday, March 4, and Thursday, March 5, where 52 NFL players will join amateur golfers in a spirited competition. The tournament’s marquee rounds (March 6-8) will be broadcast nationally and internationally on the Golf Channel.
“Year one was a tremendous success bringing together the legends of golf and football in an unprecedented way,” said Ken Kennerly, Executive Director of the James Hardie Invitational. “The response from both fans and players has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are thrilled to build on that momentum heading into 2026. This event has a very bright future.”
Tickets for the 2026 tournament go on sale in Fall 2025, with volunteer opportunities to be announced this September.
Highlights from the 2025 James Hardie Invitational:
In 2025, Ángel Cabrera claimed the inaugural title with rounds of 6866-71 – marking his first U.S. win since 2014 and earning him full-exempt status on the PGA TOUR Champions along with a $330,000 prize. The Pro Football Hall of Fame division was won by Tim Brown (Class of 2015) and PGA TOUR Champions pro Tim O’Neal, finishing at 14-under par.
Beyond the leaderboard, the tournament made a significant community impact. Funds were raised for Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County, and First Tee Florida Gold Coast. In a powerful display of partnership, James Hardie and the Weitz Construction Academy at Seminole Ridge High School built a new home for a deserving family, presented in a heartfelt key ceremony during tournament week. James Hardie’s “Birdies for Builds” campaign pledged $100 for every birdie made, guaranteeing
a $100,000 donation to Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, a First Tee youth clinic hosted by Dicky Pride and Brady Quinn welcomed 50 young golfers for a day of mentorship and inspiration.
