Putting Kids First

The Boca West Children’s Foundation has announced the schedule of events for its Battle for the Kids Foundation Days.

The nonprofit will host its 7th Annual Golf Challenge on April 1 and Concert for the Children, featuring Battle of the Bands II: The Fab Four and Remember When Rock Was Young, on April 2 at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton. Funds raised will benefit at-risk children and their families in Palm Beach County. 

“Each year, our concert and golf challenge help kids in our community by raising funds for projects at our partner agencies,” says Jennifer Bate, executive director of Boca West Children’s Foundation. “The festivities are a fun way for people to get involved with our organization and help underserved children in our community.”

The Fab Four brings The Beatles’ greatest hits. Founded in 1997 by Ron McNeil, it received an Emmy Award in 2013 for its PBS special. This stage show includes three costume changes representing every era of The Beatles’ ever-changing career.

Remember When Rock Was Young celebrates the music of Elton John with chart-topping hits like “Benny and the Jets,” “Philadelphia Freedom” and “Crocodile Rock.” Award-winning actor and singer Craig Meyer channels the character, costumes and charisma of the famed musician.

The 7th Annual Golf Challenge will host 500 golfers and is the largest charity golf tournament in South Palm Beach County. Admission includes golf play; brunch; a duck forthe $2,500 Duck Drop; admission to the evening gala cocktail party, including a live auction and an awards presentation; and one ticket to Battle of the Bands II.

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