The Board of Directors is pleased to announce Brian Edwards as our 2019 National Philanthropy Day Chair. This year, the National Philanthropy Day Awards Luncheon will celebrate its 34th year of honoring Palm Beach County men and women who are truly making an impact on our community!

The luncheon will be held on November 14th at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and is attended by more than 300 prominent community leaders, philanthropists, and business professionals. We hope that you will consider supporting the celebration of Philanthropy in Palm Beach County. As a sponsor of the event, you will join a circle of exceptionally community-minded individuals and businesses making a difference.

National Philanthropy Day is a celebration of philanthropy - giving, volunteering, and charitable engagement - that highlights the accomplishments, large and small, that philanthropy, and all those involved in the philanthropic process, make to our society and our world.
