“GIRLS NIGHT OUT” EVENT BENEFITS KIDS CANCER FOUNDATION
Many say that these summer months are a slow time of year , here in the Western Communities. But, you certainly wouldn’t know it by the crowd that showed up at The Player’s Club to attend the second Girls Night Out event. “We had groups of women, arriving at our front door from 6:00 on, to enjoy a fun night out with their friends,” explained Dolores Schlick, director of catering at The Player’s Club, “and most of them didn’t go home until it was over!”
The July Girls Night Out evening had plenty of tempting options for the ladies– shopping with over 20 vendors on site, delicious drink and food specials to indulge in, plenty of raffle prizes to win and DJ GFY playing music all night long. Not only were the women enjoying a fun night out, but they were raising some money for a good cause.
As part of the event, each vendor was asked to donate a prize to be used as a raffle prize, and the money raised at the July event from the sale of the raffle tickets was donated to Kids Cancer Foundation. Michelle O’Boyle, the Founder and Executive Director of the Kids Cancer Foundation, was on hand distributing information about the work that they do. The mission of The Kids Cancer Foundation is to provide hope and support to local children and families battling cancer and/or blood disorders right here in our community. There was also a large group of volunteers—families, kids, friends and supporters—all helping to sell those raffle tickets to the crowd.
Each month, there will be a different local charity chosen to benefit from the raffle proceeds. “We are proud to offer this support to local charities, such as the Kids Cancer Foundation, that are making a difference in our community every day,” explained Maureen Gross, director of development and community outreach at Phelps Media Group. “It is organizations like this that make the Western Communities such a wonderful place to live, and every month there are many women who come out to specifically support that month’s charity.”
Girls Night Out will be held on the second Thursday of every month at The Player’s Club from 6:00p.m until 9:00p.m. Next month’s Girls Night Out event, sure to be a sellout, will be on Thursday, August 9th and the benefiting charity will be the Sickle Cell Foundation of Palm Beach County .
