Boca West Children’s Foundation has reached a significant milestone, distributing an impressive $1,700,000 to over 30 children’s charity programs. This funding provides substantial support to more than 10,000 at-risk children across Palm Beach County.
“We operate in a non-traditional manner. Every year, we allocate nearly all our funds and begin each year with zero,” states a press release. “From our inception, we did this because the urgent needs of vulnerable children require immediate attention. We view it as our responsibility to provide shelter, nourishment, clothing, education and safety to ‘our’ kids, and expand all our resources to do so each year.”
The foundation organizes a range of fundraising events throughout the year, including its Anniversary Gala, Anniversary Diaper Drive and Annual Golf Challenge. Other key events include the Raffle Program, Bikes for Tikes and Pickleball Camp, all aimed at funding projects and supporting children and families in need. Since its inception in 2010, the foundation has raised over $18 million to fund programs in more than 36 charitable organizations.
“We invite each and every one of you to join our foundation in making a lasting impact on children’s lives. Whether it’s through a donation, volunteering your time, or spreading awareness about our cause, your involvement matters. Together, we can provide them with hope, opportunities, and a brighter future.”
