Boca Helping Hands (BHH) kicked off its 2024 MONOPOLY® & Casino Night with a pre-event cocktail reception on March 6 at The Addison. Guests enjoyed appetizers, cocktails and played Monopoly. The top-five Monopoly scorers received tickets to the organization’s upcoming gala, where they will vie for the title of 2024 Monopoly champion.
The 2024 MONOPOLY® & Casino Night will be Saturday, April 13 at 6 p.m. at The Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, 2425 West Maya Palm Drive, Boca Raton. At the MONOPOLY®-themed event, guests will enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres and dinner, partake in a Chance Wall and auctions, and play casino games before dancing the night away.
Event co-chairs are Gloria Hosh and Reagan Heidelberg. Committee members include Aisha Ali, Yoli Brennan, Ronnie Bidder, Susan Brockway, Andrea Chang, Melanie De Vito, Robin Deyo, Justin Ely, Christie Galeano–DeMott, Olivia Hollaus, Zoe Lanham, Rochelle LeCavalier, Mark Malis, Janean Mileusnic, Yvette Palermo, Antonio Postorino, Jesse Price, Linda Spielman, Trisha Vaca, Anthea Walker, and Yasmine Zyne-Coleman.
“We are so happy with the success of the Monopoly kickoff event at The Addison,” Hosh said. Heidelberg added: “The pre-event helped set the tone for the upcoming gala in April. We’re looking forward to crowning a Monopoly champion and raising necessary funds for BHH’s programs through this exciting event.”
The event’s unique theme was inspired by Boca Helping Hands’ Board President Gary Peters, a two-time National MONOPOLY® Champion. When Mr. Peters joined the Board, he thought hosting a Monopoly tournament would be a fun way to raise funds for the organization. The event has since grown and evolved into the larger affair that it is today while retaining its theme and other elements that honor its origins.
Proceeds from the event will help assist 35,000 people in the South Florida community through BHH’s various programs, including hunger relief, job training, healthcare, emergency financial assistance, childcare, and weekend meals for Palm Beach County schoolchildren.
