2014 Red Cross Beach Bash to Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Lilly Pulitzer fashion house sponsors “What Happens in the Jungle, Stays in the Jungle”
(PALM BEACH, Fla.) — When you gather more than 600 party-goers dressed in various shades of pink and green to celebrate the American Red Cross, Lilly or louder, is what you’ll get. Marking the 8th anniversary of the not-to-be-missed event, this year’s Beach Bash leadership will again collaborate with fashion house Lilly Pulitzer to take a walk on the wild side on December 26, 2014 with a “What Happens in the Jungle, Stays in the Jungle” theme.
The late fashion icon’s own backyard was nicknamed “the jungle.” It was there that she happily entertained her guests amid the lush foliage and roaming wild cats. This year, Palm Beach’s next generation of philanthropic leaders return to The Beach Club for their own jungle-themed adventure in fundraising. Deemed the season’s hottest party, the event attracts young socialites from Palm Beach, Washington D.C., New York, Chicago and Miami, all to benefit the Palm Beach chapter of the American Red Cross.
“Beach Bash has become a signature event on the Palm Beach social calendar,” noted Rob Levine, Chief Executive Officer for American Red Cross, South Florida Region. “The American Red Cross is grateful to the Lilly Pulitzer Corporation for their continued partnership throughout the years. Their sponsorship has been central to the success of Beach Bash and helping raise funds for our vital humanitarian mission.”
The event’s 2014 committee members include Bobby and Ivey Leidy, Zach Berg, Amanda Coleman, Chris DiSchino, Mary Victoria Falzarano, Richard Gaff, Nick Kassatly, Lilly Leas, Chris Leidy, Carl Loof, Brooke Chapman-Marshman, Whitney McGurk, Dabney Mercer, Tinsley Mortimer, Robert Murphy, Hess Musallet, Stacy Nichols, Stephanie Pittington, Ted and Elena Peroulakis, Phil Reagan, Kelly Ring, Richard and Lauriston Segerson, Siobhan Helene Shea, Andrew Steel, Bruce Sutka and Angela Vecellio.
All proceeds from the Beach Bash support the lifesaving work of the American Red Cross, helping people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Across the American Red Cross South Florida Region, every 28 hours on average, a neighbor calls upon local Red Cross volunteers for emotional support, food, clothing and shelter after a fire, flood, hurricane or other disaster.
In addition to the generous ongoing support of the Lilly Pulitzer Corporation, Zach Berg will also be a sponsor that evening. Tickets start at $250 and sponsorship packages and opportunities are still available. For more information, please contact Analisa Muti at 561-650-9133 or analisa.muti@redcross.org.
