On the cover For the second consecutive year, we left the cover of the Palm Beach Charity Register in the hands of readers, who voted for their favorite design among a plethora of works submitted by local artists. The winning artwork, titled Abundance, is a digital image created by Andrew Padilla, a senior at Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach. A transfer student from Kentucky, Padilla has lived in Boynton Beach for two years and plans on attending art school in New York or at a local university upon graduation. Besides digital illustrations, his passions lie in photography and fashion design, with hopes of becoming an artistic director. In Abundance, “the woman embodies abundance and prosperity, which she gives to the people of the world,” he says.

PALM BEACH CHARITY REGISTER

t’s no secret that Palm Beach is one of the most geographically desirable areas in the world, attracting the well heeled, the glamorous, and the powerful to its sun-washed shores. A natural byproduct of having so many thought leaders and influencers in one place is philanthropy—and the community impact that comes with it. The Palm Beach Charity Register is proudly dedicated to the principles of giving and community building. The annual companion to Palm Beach Illustrated’s year-round coverage of the Palm Beach area, the PBCR is an invaluable resource, not only because it highlights must-attend events, but because it shines a spotlight on the work of local charities. Sure, we all love a glamorous party. But at the end of the night, it’s all about the residual value to a worthy cause. We tell you how your donations benefit the community in Cause and Effect. Here, we single out three parties that are as impactful as they are fun. Learn more about the programs behind the festivities, beginning on page 28. Behind every cause there also are people who are passionate about its outcomes. Without these champions who roll up their sleeves and make things happen, the philanthropic tapestry of Palm Beach would be very different. Meet two individuals whose personal involvement has changed lives in this community and beyond by turning to “Hands-on Charity,” on page 24. The heart of the Charity Register, of course, is the listings section. Beginning on page 47, we offer a comprehensive guide to the season’s most noteworthy events and the organizations they benefit. It’s an indispensible tool for planning your social calendar—and for finding new causes to support. Here’s to another fabulous social season. May it inspire us to affect real change and to make our home better for all.

While black-tie is de rigeur, some events call for something a little more, well, original. This season challenged guests to show off their alter egos for events like Western-themed soirees and a modern powdered wig ballâ€”and Palm Beachers showed up perfectly dressed for each occasion.

Party

At the Flagler Museum’s Bal Poudre party, guests had their silhouettes made, snagged glasses from the ceiling, and wore powdered wigs.

By Paige Wilson and Jennifer Pfaff

Wig Out More than a century ago, Whitehall was the star—and arguably the start—of Palm Beach’s social season, when Henry and Mary Lily Flagler hosted powdered wig balls in their lakefront mansion. But today, the Flagler Museum recognizes it’s no longer the only fish in the sea. “The number and quality of galas have definitely ramped up,” says John Blades, the museum’s executive director. When it comes to attracting guests to an event now, he adds, “the idea is to do what we could do better than anyone else.” That was the driving force behind the nonprofit’s 2015 biennial Bal Poudre gala, where the original powdered wig theme was in full effect. During the costumed soiree after-party in the museum’s Kenan Pavilion, an artist cut paper silhouettes of guests—who donned their best Marie Antoinette looks—as a calligrapher decorated a wall throughout the night. Champagne glasses hung from ribbons on the ceiling and were retrieved by a performer on stilts, an electric violinist performed with a DJ, and an artist painted the scene. In one corner, projected on two 16-foot-tall screens, were photos of families Blades calls “titans of the Gilded Age”: Flagler, Morgan, Carnegie, Frick, Mellon, and a few dozen other notables. “We have to use every one of our strengths to [compete in] a field that’s crowded to begin with,” Blades says. “We didn’t want to hold 22

back, whether it was the flatware, the china, the way the napkins were folded, or the engraved invitations.” If an event is interactive and unusual, he says, it is more likely to be memorable to participants. And that’s a necessity when you’re not the only game in town. “I think all the nonprofits feel a lot of pressure. This is a very jammed social season,” Blades says. “The good news is we live in a community where citizens are genuinely happy to support a wide variety of causes because they want their community to be better.”

The Norton Museum of Art’s gala was one of the season’s most colorful.

High Roller To stimulate interest from donors, having a “wow” factor at a gala is essential, says Catherine Tolton, Jupiter Medical Center’s development and special projects manager. “Going to the same ballroom week after week becomes boring. The charities have to think: What are we going to do to wow people?” she says. To amaze attendees at its own 2015 gala, JMC transported guests to 1950s Las Vegas. The walls of the PGA National ballroom were decorated with glittering gold-textured fabric and hand-painted Las Vegas motel marquees. A martini ice sculpture luge was the focal point during the cocktail reception. Guests enjoyed chocolate poker chips, helped themselves to retro sweets from a candy bar, and received gift bags with themed goodies like custom dice and a deck of cards. “We wanted to ooze the essence of Las Vegas in a very tasteful way,” Tolton says. Throughout the night, patrons enjoyed interactive elements like slot machines, card tables, and vignettes. An Elvis impersonator hip-jived with leggy showgirls to the Rat Pack’s music, and a magician performed sleight-of-hand magic during the cocktail reception. These live acts enhanced the decor and carried the theme into one cohesive evening, Tolton says. At the end of the night, a charity’s goal is to raise funds for its mission, and the success of that comes from creating an entertaining, unforgettable evening, year after year. “We just put pressure on ourselves to continue to enhance our event and see what more we can do for our guests,” Tolton says.

Attendees of the Jupiter Medical Center’s ball took a realistic trip to Vegas, complete with Elvis.

Work of Art

In the spirit of interacting with art, the Norton Museum of Art aimed to create a playful evening for its 2015 gala. The first step was to give it a retro 1960s aesthetic. “A lot of our decor is meant to have a large visual impact and look good to the visitor,” says Hilary Jordan, the Norton’s design director. “But when they come closer, they have some level of interaction.” For instance, a wall of white and silver sequins used as a backdrop for photo ops was customizable, as guests could change the pattern by running their hands along the wall. Likewise, the bubble chairs and Barcelona beds in the after-party served as chic spaces for patrons to lounge and mingle. In the dining area, striking balloon chandeliers gradually changed color thanks to an LED light-sequencing platform. During the afterparty, bold-colored lighting was added to the Norton’s black and white theater to transform the space into a happening dance floor. “It’s always our goal to stand out in the social calendar,” Jordan says. “We really strive to host a memorable evening and make sure [guests are] having a lot of fun.” It may seem like nonprofits are competing with each other to organize the most enticing event, but the party-planning environment is actually more supportive than competitive, says Jaimie Hart, the Norton’s development officer for special events. “You don’t feel like you’re in it alone,” she says, adding that a lot of ideas are shared. “There are hundreds of other organizations, [but] we all stand out on our own just based on our individual merits. It’s fun to see what people are coming up with and still be able to have something that’s true to us.”

A victim of human trafficking herself, Giselle Meza now works to end the epidemic worldwide.

Charity Hands-On

By Paige Bowers

It has been said that to whom much is given, much is expected. And Palm Beachers have no problem opening their hearts— and wallets—to any number of worthy causes each year. But some are changing lives with more than their check-

books. They’re rolling up their sleeves and taking a hands-on approach with the organization they care about most. Reacquaint yourself with two people in our community who are known for being a perfect host, a perfect 10, and perfect connectors with Rolodexes full of all the right names. Beyond our region, they’re known as lifesavers by the people who have been impacted by their generosity.

From cover girl to humanitarian Boca Raton resident Giselle Meza traveled the world as a top model for almost 20 years. But no matter where she went on assignment, she was haunted by the young women, mothers, and young girls she saw who were victims of human trafficking. How did Meza know this? She had once been a victim herself. As a teenager, she moved from Costa Rica to Oregon along with her mother, who was single. “There—in my new, very nice, small, affluent neighborhood—I was tricked and trafficked to Europe,” she recalls. “I was able to escape and survive by God’s grace only.” Glamorous fashion magazine assignments did not dull Meza’s compassion for the women and girls she saw in the streets. She knew she had to do something to give them the new

caring can change lives. By taking love into the darkest of places, lives can be touched and saved.”

life they deserved. “I knew the pain of being trapped and not heard,” she says. “I wanted them to know I heard their cries and that they were loved.” Meza quit her modeling career— and the lifestyle that went with it—to found Puresa Humanitarian, a nonprofit dedicated to providing rescue, hope, and a way out of slavery for these victims. It’s a far cry from her days of posing for photographers. Now Meza is engaged in very personal and sometimes dangerous work around the world that often requires her to build trusting relationships with the madams or mothers holding young victims prisoner. Puresa offers these children a safe home, school, meals, playtime, counseling, medical care, and skills training. “I see so much joy in the faces of our rescued children and young women,” she says. “The human spirit is so resilient. When you give someone love and care and safety, they become alive again.”

Meza meets with women and children around the globe to foster trusting relationships.

Giving from a place of gratitude Nine years ago, Club Colette owner Dan Ponton grappled with how and where to tackle a nonmalignant brain tumor that had negatively impacted his quality of life. “A dear friend of mine is the chief of surgery at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, so I called him when I found out what was going on,” Ponton recalls. “He told me that the guy I needed to see was at his hospital.” After a 17-hour surgery, Ponton recovered quickly and began thinking about the best ways he could give to BWH to show his gratitude. Because the first anniversary of his operation coincided with the twenty-fifth anniversary of Club Colette, he threw a party at the restaurant that raised more than $1 million for the hospital. But for Ponton, it was not enough to raise the money. He established the Daniel E. Ponton Fund at BWH because he wanted to use those funds in ways that helped the hospital advance medical research and improve patient care, especially in underserved communities around the world. Since the fund’s beginnings, Ponton has provided research grants to scientists whose work inspired him, given meningioma brain tumor patients unprecedented Q&A time with their doctors outside of a hospital setting, and underwritten a comprehensive educational series for newly diagnosed brain tumor patients and their families. His work has brought him to Rwanda, where he is providing housing, micro-financing, vocational training, school fee payments, and health insurance help to some of the country’s most vulnerable people. “It’s through doing work like this, this work that’s so rewarding, that I get to reevaluate so much in my own life,” Ponton says. Ponton builds health facilities for—and relationships with— families in areas like Rwanda.

An annual tea party has helped Ernie and Liezl Els build a growing school for students with autism.

Parties By Liza Grant Smith

with a Purpose

Behind every glamorous charity event is a humble, lifechanging cause. Uncover the astounding impacts underneath all the fun from three of the social season’s top parties.

Good Time: Liezl’s Tea Party Good Deed: Els for Autism Foundation

Professional golfer Ernie Els and his wife, Liezl, suspected something was wrong with their young son, Ben. They noticed the toddler lagged behind in reaching major childhood milestones like crawling, walking, and talking. When Ben turned 3, they got their answer: autism. Ernie and Liezl refused to adopt a negative mindset. They moved from Wentworth, England to West Palm Beach, where Ben could undergo a more intensive form of therapy. Still, they felt they could do more. Although they tend to keep their personal lives private, the Elses realized how powerful their names and faces could be in raising funds and awareness for the causes of and potential treatments for autism. This is how Liezl’s Tea Party was born. Each year, in the heart of springtime, Liezl invites 250 guests into her home garden for a tea party themed after a different country or culture. Over eight years, Liezl’s Tea Party has transported guests to places like England, South Africa, China, France, India, America, and, most recently, Sweden, with a wildflower-laden Swedish midsummer festival. More importantly, the party has raised more than $200,000 annually to 28

PALM BEACH CHARITY REGISTER

help fund the Els Center of Excellence, a Jupiter-based school for autistic students aged 3-21. In August, the center welcomed its first students and revealed its first two buildings: an educational center and an auditorium. This is only the beginning of what the Elses intend to become a 26-acre campus offering programming related to early intervention, education, applied research, transition to adulthood, medical and professional services, and adult services. “The opening of the first components of the center is the start of a dream coming true for myself and Liezl,” Ernie says. “Thanks to the support of a huge number of individuals and organizations, we have made great strides; however, we still have a long way to go.” So while Liezl’s guests enjoy an internationally inspired tea party, the celebration benefits children with autism around the world. “The center will not only be a game changer for the children in our community, it will also be a hub for our global outreach programs,” Ernie says. “This will ensure that the positive influence of the center is felt far beyond the boundaries of its walls.”

Boca Raton’s top food and wine festival keeps local history alive by funding children’s programs at the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum.

Good Time: Boca Bacchanal Good Deed: Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum

South county foodies have the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum to thank for organizing the local wine-and-dine event of the season. Founded in 2003, the Boca Bacchanal is a weekend-long affair that offers two events for discerning palates: the Bacchanalia, a party where guests enjoy more than 140 wine samples and bites from dozens of area restaurants (along with entertainment as well as a live and a silent auction), and the exclusive vintner dinners, where local residents host a private five-course dining experience courtesy of renowned chefs and vintners. On the surface, the Boca Bacchanal is for adults. But at its core, it’s all for the kids. The occasion was created specifically to fund new, engaging programs and exhibits at the museum that allow children to learn about and experience local history firsthand. “The money raised supports the programs of the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum—thus directly back into the Boca Raton community to preserve our history, to educate our children, and to build an 30 PALM BEACH CHARITY REGISTER

identity and sense of place in Boca Raton for generations to come,” says Lauren Wallach, the museum’s development director. Over the years, thanks to help from the Bacchanal, these programs have grown in number and scope, serving 1,200 children this season alone. The Boca Express Train Museum now houses a 1930 FEC Railway passenger station and two restored 1947 streamlined rail cars, allowing students to role-play as train crew members and passengers. Another popular program, Pioneer Kids and Me is a traveling, interactive classroom presentation in which students examine photos, maps, diary entries, and artifacts from the society’s archives and learn what life was like for Boca Raton’s first residents. The society’s website is filled with accolades from children who have become unexpected fans of history. “We believe strongly that by teaching our children their local history, they will become more involved community citizens in the future,” says Executive Director Mary Csar.

The dogs at the Wine Women and Shoes Luncheon aren’t just there for show— they’re adoptable rescue dogs whose lives were saved by the Big Dog Ranch Rescue.

Good Time: Wine Women and Shoes Good Deed: Big Dog Ranch Rescue

Guests slip into their best footwear and ogle the shoe eye candy galore at the Wine Women and Shoes luncheon, where attendees bid on hot designer items and enjoy a fashion show following lunch. But, ironically, the guests of honor at this girls’ day out event are barefoot. Mingling among the stilettos are adoptable dogs from Wellington’s Big Dog Ranch Rescue. This nonprofit—the largest no-kill rescue in the Southeast, having saved more than 10,000 lives—prides itself on taking in dogs other shelters won’t because they are too sick or because healing them would cost too much. A prime example is Maple, a terrier-dachshund mix who was found curled up in a cage with four other dogs at a South Florida shelter without air conditioning or a fan. The shelter where she lived had planned to euthanize her, but that day BDRR saved her, along with 19 other dogs. Maple’s surgery was costly at $2,000, but 32

today she is thriving in a loving home. “We took a chance that her life was worth saving,” says Lauree Simmons, cofounder of the organization. “We will always take the sick dogs that need care, no matter what the cost. It’s what separates us and makes us different from other animal shelters.” Maple’s story is one of thousands that BDRR helps write each year thanks to events like Wine Women and Shoes. In 2014, because of its fundraising initiatives, the nonprofit rescued more than 2,197 dogs, spayed or neutered another 1,218, and transferred 1,072 more out of highkill shelters. “We are constantly in need of donations. We ask, because every dollar we get goes to saving an innocent life,” says board member Emily Pantelides. “Even five dollars can be the difference between a dog getting its medicine or not.”

aZ The Social Scene

Whether you’re attending your first gala or are a regular on the circuit, follow our A to Z tips to navigate the Palm Beach charity season with finesse By Liza Grant Smith

Donate. After all, your generosity is the real reason for

Arrive 15 minutes after the event is intended to start. It’s the ideal “fashionably late” time: just early enough to ensure the party is underway and not too late that you miss any of the fun (or guests are too absorbed to notice your grand entrance).

Bid on items in the silent and live auctions. There are some unbelievable gifts to be had, from coveted jewelry and wine to oncein-a-lifetime experiences. Plus, it’s a winwin: You get a fantastic prize, while the money goes to a deserving cause.

Compliment the chair or party host on organizing a fabulous event. Make this an in-person priority before the night is over, but if you know the organizer particularly well, be sure to also follow up with a thank-you card sent in the mail expressing your appreciation.

the party. Most events offer a very public “call to heart,” and you’ll want to be prepared.

Etiquette applies to your phone, too—keep texting and calling to a minimum, but do show support on social media. The key is to be quick: One tweet or a quick post will do; save the full update for later. Be present during the event.

Flash a smile. Society photographers are guaranteed to be there, capturing every red-carpet moment (and hopefully your best side). Be sure to spell your full name for photographers so you won’t appear as a nameless guest, should the photo be published. PALM BEACH CHARITY REGISTER

Gossip always happens in the bathroom—and that’s exactly where it should stay. Keep it behind closed doors.

Hair styling should be left to the professionals—the night of a gala is not the time to experiment with a new ’do. Book an appointment well in advance, especially at the hottest salons in town.

Invite a plus-one. (Be sure to RSVP for two.) It’s easier to mingle when you have a wingman or woman. Plus, a dynamic duo always makes for better pictures.

Join in the conversation. Use your small-talk skills to get to know your tablemates. Always-appropriate topics include travel, current events, your affiliation with the charity, and who’s wearing what, so long as it’s stated in a complimentary way. Off limits: whatever you overheard in the bathroom.

Know the organization you’re supporting. If you’re not totally familiar with it, do some research beforehand to understand where your money is going. Being a knowledgeable guest is socially expected as well as respectful to the nonprofit.

Limit your intake: no more than two drinks during cocktail hour and two during dinner. Anything more and you’ll be the talk of the town for the wrong reasons. Manicures are a must, so schedule a visit to your favorite spa or salon. And if you plan to wear open-toe shoes, don’t dare leave the salon without a pedicure. Your final look should be spot-on literally from head to toe. Network—especially during cocktail hour, when you can socialize

with anyone, not just your own table guests. Bring business cards to swap at strategic moments, and have a prepared simple answer to the ever-popular question, “What do you do?”

Order special menu requests in advance. Don’t wait until the server is delivering your filet mignon to mention your vegetarian lifestyle or a recent shift to a gluten-free diet. State your preferences when you RSVP.

Position yourself strategically at all times. During the cocktail hour, stand between the entrance and the bar so you’ll be in the middle of the action as well as approachable. During dinner, if you turn to talk to the guest next to you, keep your body language open so others can join in.

44 PALM BEACH CHARITY REGISTER

Quiet—refrain from talking when the speakers are. They are there for an important purpose and deserve your full attention and respect. Discrete shushing of others who are not abiding by this rule is acceptable and, in some cases, laudable.

Read the social section of Palm Beach Illustrated—you just might spot your face among the photos. Be sure to display the magazine on your coffee table as a light reading suggestion, perhaps with your page dogeared (not that you noticed, of course).

Swag bags can be wonderful mementos of the event, so don’t leave without one. Not crazy about the contents? Give them to someone who didn’t attend the event who will appreciate them—this is one instance of re-gifting that’s actually acceptable. Themes are popular, so expect to dress the part for the event— just don’t over- or underdo it. When in doubt, look up photos of last year’s event. If you can’t find any, women should slip on a black dress and men should don a tux—you’ll never go wrong with these classic looks. Unique touches are what make you stand out, so personalize your style with a monogram clutch or a favorite statement necklace. Just relax and be yourself confidently, from the way you dress to the conversations you have with other guests. Be memorable for being you.

Valets always take a while, so consider hiring a car to help reduce the time. If it’s an appropriate moment to exit (meaning: not while a speaker is talking), leave the event around 10 p.m. to be one of the first in line. Walk around in those new Jimmy Choos before actually wearing them to the gala. You’ll need to be able to move gracefully and without pain by the end of the night, so choose footwear that’s both stylish and comfortable—then practice that strut.

Xtra essentials like lipstick, bobby pins, and mints (not gum) are necessary for looking your best all night, so keep them on you—and offer to share when appropriate. Your polite gesture could score you a new acquaintance or accolades from top influencers.

Your calendar should be full of a variety of events— not just black-tie galas, but also themed parties, food and wine festivals, and intriguing speaking engagements. Aim for a scope of experiences. Zzz’s are necessary to survive the social season. Get some beauty sleep, because you’ll need the energy to take on the next gala—it’s right around the corner.

to make a

big impact

With the help of donors like Tandy Robinson and the Community Foundation, our community is coming together to make high-impact grants. Tandy is co-founder of Impact 100 Palm Beach County, a donor advised fund at the Foundation. The concept is simple: local women join for $1,000, the monies are pooled, and then members vote to make a $100,000 grants to the local nonprofit they feel will make the greatest impact on the community. Tandy decided to partner with the Foundation because of our 40-year track record of community leadership
