National Philanthropy Day will celebrate its 35th year of honoring those in Palm Beach County who are "changing the world with a giving heart." This past year, philanthropy has played a critical role during these unprecedented times. From providing food and shelter for our neighbors in the Bahamas, keeping our community safe during the pandemic, and taking a stand for social justice; many have made a lasting mark. Join us on Thursday, November 12 at 2:30 PM on our Facebook Page as we honor the individuals, corporations, and foundations who gave their time, talent, and resources to transform an idea into someone's positive future.
