“We’re absolutely jazzed to be the first couple co-chairs for our 1920s-themed MONOPOLY® & Casino Night! After two fabulous years on the committee, we’re stepping into the spotlight alongside our husbands—who are bringing their own ace skills to the table—to create an event inspired by Gatsby Glamour. Get ready to roll the dice, dance the Charleston, and support an amazing organization in true Roaring Twenties style!” — Jessica Price & Yvette Palermo.
The unique theme of the gala was inspired by Boca Helping Hands’ Board President, Gary Peters, a two-time National MONOPOLY® Champion. When Mr. Peters joined the Board, he envisioned hosting a Monopoly tournament as a fun and creative way to raise funds for the organization. Over the years, this event has grown into a sophisticated affair while continuing to honor its original concept. The MONOPOLY Championship is played at this gala event on the 26th with MONOPOLY qualifiers playing at the VIP event on April 2 where they will vie for the chance to become this year’s winner.
Boca Helping Hands is proud to recognize JM Family Enterprises as the event’s overall sponsor, whose generosity and commitment to the community help make this extraordinary evening possible.
Proceeds from the event will provide vital assistance to 35,000 people in the South Florida community through BHH’s programs, including hunger relief, job training, healthcare, emergency financial assistance, childcare, and weekend meals for Palm Beach County school children.
This year’s gala promises an evening of glitz, glamour, and giving back—all while embracing the charm and exuberance of the Roaring ’20s.
