On April 20 Best Foot Forward hosted its annual BFF Bash, themed “A Night With Our Stars” at Boca West Country Club, raising more than $1.5 million. All proceeds benefit the organization’s work toward ensuring that vulnerable children in Palm Beach County have an equitable chance at a successful future.
Many of the students in BFF’s programs — also known as its “stars” — were among the event’s honored guests, which also included Honorary Chairs Rita & Frank Barbieri and the 2024 Champion of Children Award recipient, Van P. Williams. The highlight of the evening was when Tina, a Best Foot Forward program alumna, shared her story of success and perseverance.
