Adopt-A-Family & Lynora’s Join Together To Throw ‘Great Give’ Happy Hour on May 3
(PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL) – Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches is getting set for Palm Beach County’s biggest 24 hour fundraising campaign, The Great Give, by partnering with Lynora’s, the famed Italian restaurant in Downtown West Palm Beach, for a Happy Hour Pizza Party on Tuesday, May 3, 2016.
Guests will be welcomed at Lynora’s, 207 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, from 4-7 p.m. With a minimum $20 donation to Adopt-A-Family through the Great Give online portal (at the event or the day of Great Give), each patron will receive a ticket for a drink and pizza that can be redeemed during the event.
Every donation made to Adopt-A-Family is partially matched through the Great Give, which is a 24-hour fundraising campaign for nonprofits throughout Palm Beach and Martin Counties. To increase the impact, the dedicated board members of Adopt-A-Family have created a unique matching pool of $5,000.
“We are so excited to be a part of Great Give 2016, and we want to share that excitement with our supporters, board members, volunteers and donors,” said Matt Constantine, CEO of Adopt-A-Family. “We hope that once people are at Lynora’s, ready for a great time, they will be inspired to give because every dollar is matched by our board and then matched again by the Great Give bonus pool to support Project Grow. For every dollar donated up to $5,000, Adopt-A-Family receives a dollar-for-dollar match by the board of directors. We can’t think of a better incentive for a Happy Hour.”
Project Grow is Adopt-A-Family’s afterschool and out of school program, which fosters a stable and educational environment for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The program is customized to meet the unique challenges of formerly homeless and low-income youth in the Lake Worth community. The program incorporates an innovative STEAM curriculum that introduces career fields of the future to our students.

ABOUT LYNORA’S
Lynora’s, located on Clematis Street in the heart of Downtown West Palm Beach, is the current home of the Abbenante family’s culinary traditions, which began in South Florida in 1974 when Raffaele and Maria Abbenante immigrated from the tiny Italian island, Ponza, and began selling pizza by the slice in South Florida.
In 1976, the small family pizza shop evolved into an Italian dining destination in Lake Worth where Maria Abbenante used her mother, Lynora’s, traditional Italian recipes and culinary secrets of traditional Italian cooks to prepare dishes using the finest, locally sourced ingredients. For more than 35 years, the Abbenante family served thousands at Lynora’s in Lake Worth, which was known as one of the best Italian restaurants in South Florida. In 2004, the Abbenantes closed the restaurant and planned to retire, but when presented with another opportunity, they came out of retirement. In 2014 opened the next generation of Lynoras on Clematis Street. Today, Lynora’s combines its best Old World recipes with new fusion dishes that Maria still prepares. Seven days a week, the casually sophisticated restaurant draws countless guests that continue to enjoy memorable dining experiences redolent with the full flavors of Italy.
