Place: Watermark Ballroom in Wycliffe Golf and Country Club, Wellington, Florida
Event: Charity Fair
Theme: Did You Ever Wonder If You Could Help?
Sponsor: Wycliffe Charities, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1995, has raised and contributed more than $3 million dollars to charities in Palm Beach County. Funds come almost entirely from donations from members of Wycliffe Golf and Country Club.
Wycliffe Charities is governed by a nine-member board led by President Norm Primost.
The Charity Fair, chaired by Ed Goldstein, is a first and unique event for Wycliffe Golf and Country Club members.
The event is an Educational Program. At the Fair, the entire membership of Wycliffe Golf and Country Club had the opportunity to meet, question and learn from the representatives of the 25 charities that received Wycliffe Charities grants this year and learn more about the impact of their work.
The charities’ representatives described the wonderful work that they do for children and adults in Palm Beach County who are ill or need help to create better lives for themselves. Wycliffe Charities believes that it is important that donors understand how their contributions help others.
The Charity Fair featured photos taken by volunteers from the Wycliffe Photography Club. Club photographers spent the last several months documenting in pictures the incredible work of these charities in the local Palm Beach Community. Club President, Ross Ginsberg, coordinated the volunteer effort and Avram Tishman directed the technical aspects of the project.
