Palm Beach, Florida – The November 8th, Clinics Can Help Cribs for Kids Luncheon was a rousing success, helping the organization to raise just under $100,000 to provide safe sleeping environments for Palm Beach County’s most precious residents. The event, which took place at The Sailfish Club in Palm Beach, was dedicated to promoting equality and access for all while raising vital funding to prevent the occurrence of S.I.D.S.
“When we hear the staggering number of 2,000 deaths each year due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) we know, at our core, that this is unacceptable,” shares Clinics Can Help CEO Owen O’Neill. “A safe sleeping environment is the very simple answer to reducing this number and we’ve made it a part of our mission to step in to help those in need.”
The event not only featured a magical luncheon but an exclusive shopping experience prior to sitting for attendees to shop one-of-a-kind goods, exotic offerings and an incredible silent auction.
Once seated, emcee Jay Cashmere welcomed guests before welcoming US Representative Lois Frankel who shared a bit about the work she is doing to create access. The remarkable Nancy Brinker served as keynote speaker, who ignited and inspired the room through talk of her work, the impact and movement she created, and how her work aligns with the mission and work of Clinics Can Help in bringing equality in healthcare to all regardless of their situation. Brinker encouraged guests to do their part and to do what they can to enact change for the betterment of friends and neighbors in need.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars raised through the event will stay local and help the organization not only provide cribs but support the organization’s work. To date, Clinics Can Help has aided more than 26,000 children and adults with an astonishing $14,000,000 worth of medical equipment and life-saving supplies. The organization works to increase access to health equity leading to bright futures.
