The Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce’s annual gala took place on Saturday, May 19 in the Kravis Center’s Cohen Pavilion. This year’s theme was “All About You,” where all attendees had a night to celebrate their achievements, have a good time, socialize and network with fellow chamber members and community leaders.
The sold-out event celebrated the night with dancing, live music, a three-course plated dinner, and a video highlighting each sponsor’s participation and impact in the central and western part of Palm Beach County.
The chamber board recognized Laura Trosclair, executive vice president of Mercantil Bank and past chair of the board. Robbin Lee, CEO of Wellington Regional Medical Center and current chair of the board, was the master of ceremonies for the evening, along with John Carter of Minto Communities, chair elect and presenting sponsor representative. The chamber’s Board was recognized for the constant support and leadership each member provides.
Guests participated in the evening’s silent auction and 50/50 raffle, which included an exclusive five-day, four-night vacation for two to Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, donated by Florida Crystals. Wellington residents and Central Palm Beach County Chamber members Eddy and Lisa Rodriguez of SunTrust Bank won the grand prize to the Caribbean.
The evening was a delightful time for all who attended. The chamber thanks all sponsors, members and guests who helped make the event a success.
