Dream Big

In its 14th year, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers’ (FFCDC) largest fundraising event – the Wee Dream Ball presented by Neiman Marcus – will be held on Dec. 6 at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton.

Co-chairs Tracy Louv and Donna Nero, along with honorary chairs Eda and Cliff Viner, invite the public to join them for one of the social season’s favorite events.

The cocktail hour will include a large silent auction followed by a seated dinner and live auction. The evening will conclude with an extravagant dessert buffet and a lively after party. All proceeds directly impact our community’s most vulnerable children and their families through the power of education.

Since 1971, FFCDC has been a comprehensive, transformational community cornerstone providing education to children and families who would otherwise go without. Its vision is to remain a premier provider of child and family education and support services for low-to-moderate-income families living in south Palm Beach County and north Broward County. Without early childhood and family support services like those at FFCDC, children growing up in poverty are set up for failure – academically, physically and economically – before they even start school. But, at FFCDC, they’re given the opportunity for a better path in life. 

The nonprofit understands what it takes to raise a child and strengthen a family. The results speak for themselves. Instead of a 48 percent kindergarten-readiness rate, FFCDC preschoolers start school at 96 percent kindergarten-ready.

The Boca Raton Observer is the event’s exclusive magazine sponsor. O
