Holiday cheer and libations were flowing during the Executive Women of the Palm Beaches’ annual holiday party and silent auction. The fun-filled event took place Dec. 9 at EmKo in West Palm Beach and welcomed dozens of community members in support of good cheer and furthering the group’s mission to help women succeed and lead.
“This event really kicks off the holiday season for our organization and gives guests an opportunity to not only learn about Executive Women of the Palm Beaches and our foundation, but it also provides an opportunity to get some holiday shopping done while helping to support our mission of empowering the women of our future,” Executive Women of the Palm Beaches President Sandra Close Turnquest said.
The annual event, which raised more than $5,000 for the EWPB Foundation, was chaired by Misty Travani and Gina Sabean. Money raised will support programs that fulfill the group’s mission of empowering women.
Empowering women to succeed and lead, the Executive Women of the Palm Beaches is a nonprofit professional association that inspires integrity, equality and leadership in the workplace and community.
Since its inception, the Executive Women of the Palm Beaches Foundation has awarded more than $408,000 for scholarships and community projects. In 2015, thanks to the support of sponsors, partners and donors, the foundation was responsible for 24 scholarships totaling approximately $40,000.
