Since Hemingway wrote about his adventures fishing off the shores of Key West, vacationers have flocked to the Florida Keys to experience the azure waters, vast fishing options and swashbuckling spirit of the Conch Republic. Our winner and their party of up to 6 will board the Isabella for three days and two nights of magic. As North America’s only 100% solar yacht, our vessel is sustainable and low impact on the environment – it’s a new era in boating. The super quiet and stable 55’ catamaran has 3 guest cabins each with a private bath, fully stocked kitchen and will be escorted by our Captain. Snorkel, dive, fish, sunbathe, stop at a deserted island, and stargaze or come back into port for a lively stroll around Old Town Key West – the choice is yours!

These scholarships were presented to those individuals who have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to achieving their goals through hard work and a willingness to help themselves and others.

In a normal year, producing a successful event such as Ballroom Battle requires a major commitment of time and energy from our dancers, committee and volunteers. The challenges of the pandemic this year has shown us all that this group of people are true heroes.

Mindy Shikiar

performing to "More, More, More"

by Andrea True Connection Mindy Shikiar was born in Brooklyn, New York, and because of her father’s international business career, she had the opportunity to live abroad. She lived in Caracas Venezuela, and Mexico City, before heading back to Brooklyn which will always be her hometown.

Mindy went to Boston University and completed her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. After working as a bedside nurse for several years, Mindy decided to move to Florida to follow her mother and grandparents and leave the cold weather!

In Florida, her first accomplishment was completing her MBA and MSN at the University of Miami while working full time in various clinical positions. With her advanced education behind her, Mindy’s career took off. Her healthcare career is comprised of numerous nursing positions including that of Nurse Manager, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Director of Quality and Case Management and Adjunct Professor at Barry University in Miami. Mindy served as CEO and COO of Kindred, a long-term acute care facility for critically ill/medically complex patients in Fort Lauderdale.

Mindy was recruited to Boca Regional in 2003 and had a successful, fulfilling career holding various leadership positions including Executive Director of Quality Effectiveness, Vice President of Clinical Operations, and Vice President of Oncology and Ambulatory Services. In 2018, she was promoted to the Chief Operations Officer.

She is most proud of her roles in the planning and construction of the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health and Wellness Institute and the Gloria Drummond Rehabilitation Institute. Additionally, her career allowed her to collaborate with talented medical directors and executives overseeing the Lynn Cancer Institute and the Marcus Neurosciences Institute. In July of 2019, Boca Raton Regional Hospital became part of Baptist Health South Florida Inc. She played an integral role in leading integration into the Baptist system. A priority focus was the development of a Master Facility Plan to include a new bed tower, new operating rooms, and all new private patient rooms.

Mindy was directly involved in overseeing operations during COVID. Ensuring employees felt safe and supported while keeping patients safe and cared for was a priority. Working in leadership during COVID required strength, and resilience.

The caregivers deserved the title superhero and Mindy is forever grateful to all of the clinicians that worked together during this difficult time.

On a personal level, Mindy’s greatest accomplishment has been successfully raising her 20 year old daughter, Brenna, adopted from Russia. Brenna, has overcome many challenges and after successfully completing high school is working as a groomer at PetCo!!!

Mindy is a licensed registered nurse, and a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives. She is a former licensed Healthcare Risk Manager. She sits on the Board of Directors for the Habilitacion Center.

Dre Garcia

performing to “I Love The Night Life" by Alicia Bridges Dre Garcia is the Founder and CEO of Empower Consulting Partners, a National PEO brokerage firm, based in Boca Raton, Empower provides customized business solutions to include payroll, health insurance, workers compensation, and HR for a wide variety of clients, creating successful strategies for growth and true partnerships driven by a service philosophy.

Dedication to service has been a driving force for Dre throughout her career as well as in her personal life.

Dre has been married to her husband, Rich, for 16 years, and together they are raising their two children, Ryler, 10, and Briella, 8. Whether talking about Dre’s career trajectory or her diverse and passionate service to the community, every project she takes on has to meet the following criteria: Can she manage it without infringing on family time, is she providing a service that is close to her heart by empowering others, and, of course, is it fun? This philosophy and mental checklist has helped her achieve career AND volunteer goals over the last 20 years.

Dre has been a fierce advocate in her community for most of her adult life. She has been involved with the Junior League of Boca Raton (JLBR) for over 15 years, has served as President, and held numerous board, chair, and advising positions.

Currently, as a member of the Diaper Bank Task Force, she is helping the JLBR transition its Diaper Bank to its own 501c3.

Additionally, Dre serves on the Scholarship Fund Selection Committee and the advisory board for KidSafe Foundation, where leaders within the organization have called her “instrumental” in helping the organization grow by more than 30 percent in one year. She is a past appointed member of the City of Boca Raton Education Task Force, a Leadership Boca graduate, and has assisted her church’s children’s ministry for many years. Dre is honored to have been awarded the Soroptimist International Woman of Distinction, Mother of the Year by Healthy Mother Healthy Babies, and has been named to Boca Life’s Top 40 under 40.

While clearly Dre’s volunteer and charitable work spans multiple organizations, the Selection Committee has been a high priority. She has been on the Members Scholars committee for over eight years reviewing scholarship applications. She considers it not only an honor, but also an inspiration to read about the struggles, triumphs, and vision for the future these high school seniors exhibit as their drive for greatness in education continues. Now is she is excited (and maybe a bit terrified) to add dancing to her volunteer resume, with the goal of raising the most money to help the leaders of today impact tomorrow.

On a personal note, Kelly enjoys time with family and friends, travel and exercising. She recently joined her 2 teenage sons and her husband in Ninja Warrior competitions and is currently ranked #9 nationally in the Masters Female division.

performing to “Don’t You Want Me" by Human League Elmar Benavente is the Founder and owner of BE Design Associates - an Architectural and Interior Design Firm headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. His work is well known for high-end residential architecture and yacht interiors. Born in Guatemala, Elmar’s family sold its pharmacy business and moved to New York to start a new life when the civil war took place. Once there, Elmar was determined to adjust to a new environment, life and language.

Benavente discovered his talent for sketching and drawing in junior high. A very special teacher (his angel, as he refers to her) would give him artistic tasks to do at school while she was compiling a portfolio in secret. This portfolio ended up being his ticket into the High School of Art and Design in New York City. Throughout high school, Benavente was surrounded by fashion designers, artists, and more, which inspired him to continue on with this path and apply to NYTC to study Architecture. He later was accepted into the Pratt Institute School of Architecture.

Elmar decided he wanted to start his next life in Florida where he opened his design firm BE Design Associates in 2001. Benavente has more than 30 years of experience in exclusive high-end home design, including 25 years of experience in design and management at his own firm.

BALLROOM BATTLE™ 2021 COMMUNITY DANCERS

Dr. Melyssa Hancock

performing to “I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor Dr. Melyssa Hancock is originally from Old Lyme, CT, where through example and upbringing, she developed a passion for serving others and a commitment to education. Her mother is a 4th grader teacher with a master’s degree in special education and her father is a pharmacist and a small business leader. From an early age, her parents instilled in her the importance of having compassion and respect for people who need to be helped, heard, or healed, or all three. Dr. Hancock’s decision to become a physician was inspired by those values and priorities that her parents passed on to her. She is grateful for the tremendous opportunity from the George Snow Scholarship Fund to put these values into action and help the community’s youth achieve their dreams through their pursuit of higher education.

Dr. Hancock is a Board-Certified Head and Neck Surgeon and Fellowship-Trained Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at the Nose and Sinus Institute of Boca Raton, where she joined Dr. Nathan Nachlas in 2018. She practices the full spectrum facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, with emphasis on rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty, as well as facial rejuvenation procedures and skin cancer reconstruction. She is also an active staff member at Boca Raton Regional Hospital and the Boca Raton Outpatient Laser and Surgery Center.

With an established track record of academic achievement and dedication to research, Dr. Hancock remains focused on continuing to contribute to the research literature and the education of new young doctors in the years ahead. She is a clinical instructor at the Florida Atlantic University School of Medicine and is a member of multiple professional organizations including the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Palm Beach County Medical Society, and Florida Network of Otolaryngologists. She currently serves as the President-Elect on the Executive Board of the Florida Society of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

When not treating patients (or dancing!), Dr. Hancock enjoys any activity on or under the water especially scuba diving, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
