The Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club is celebrating 34 years of its largest fundraiser with the annual Wellington Dinner Dance. The vintage circus-themed event will take place Friday, Jan. 7, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. at the Wycliffe Golf & Country Club. Proceeds will benefit critical programming at the Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington. The event will also honor the legacy of Hirsch, who passed away in June.
“It is an honor to partner with an organization that provides opportunities for our local Wellington youth to grow and thrive in a safe environment,” Event Chair Ana Ferwerda said. “We are especially excited to host this event in honor of Neil S. Hirsch. Please join us for an evening of giving that will help support the children of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.”
The evening will begin with a cocktail hour including hors d’oeuvres and a specialty cocktail from the High Goal Luxury Gin liquor line donated by celebrity polo player Nic Roldan. HyRyZe Band will perform live, while guests enjoy vintage circus entertainers, including a tarot card reader, jugglers, a magician and contortionists performing inside of vehicles provided by Aston Martin of Meyers Auto Group of Palm Beach. Wellington club members will perform a dance and circus act, while guests enjoy a sit-down dinner.
“We’re excited to host our 34th annual Wellington Dinner Dance in-person this year to not only honor the legacy of Neil S. Hirsch, but to fundraise for our Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club,” said Jaene Miranda, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. “Funds from the event will go toward the important programs that the Wellington club provides for children who need it most.”
