Brooke USA Foundation’s annual signature event will be held Thursday, March 17 from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Wellington National Golf Club. The coveted event is a special edition of the annual Brooke USA’s Sunset Polo & White Party series, returning in 2022 with a twist, as Brooke USA’s White Party Goes Green in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. The event boasts a Las Vegas-style casino under the stars, where guests will enjoy an evening of fun while raising funds for working horses, donkeys and mules, and the people who depend on them for survival worldwide.
Brooke USA’s White Party Goes Green is planned to be a spectacular affair as guests fittingly test their luck. Wellington National will transform into a Celtic-themed extravaganza, including décor, food, drinks and entertainment. Upon arrival, partiers will be greeted by Irish River Dancers from the Kelly Irish Academy of Dance. Guests will also be able to meet miniature horses and donkeys brought to the party by Millar Brooke South.
Upon entering, guests will secure their play chips and arrive at the grand patio, where they will experience the sights and sounds of a real casino as players roar with every roll of the dice at the craps table or try a hand at outhustling the blackjack dealer while sipping on the signature drink, sponsored by Tito’s Handmade Vodka.
When taking a break between bets, guests are encouraged to take part in the silent and live auctions, as well as the luxury travel auction provided by AmFund. Music will fill the air as guests move to the rhythm of acclaimed DJ Adam Lipson, who has played some of the most prestigious parties and events in South Florida and is brought to the event by entertainment sponsor, Celebrity Cruises, Hotels at Sea and the International Polo Tour.
This event is yet another milestone in Brooke USA’s remarkable journey, raising more than $2 million to date from the annual signature event series. What began as a humble nonprofit just six years ago has turned into an inspiring tale of what board members, donors and volunteers can do for those who are less fortunate, human and equine alike.
General admission tickets are $100 per person, while children’s tickets are $50. The price of tickets increases March 1. Each ticket includes an Irish-themed buffet dinner, a welcome drink for those over 21 (soft drinks and water for children), as well as admission to the party; casino chips need to be purchased separately. VIP Poolside Lounges and VIP Tables are also available, taking the experience up a notch, with 2,500 gaming chips for each guest to kick off casino play. Guests must be 18 years or older to play.
Do not miss the opportunity to purchase your tickets to the soiree of the season and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day for a great cause. For more information about Brooke USA’s White Party Goes Green, visit www.brookeusaevents.org.
