Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton To Present
Fifth Annual Boca Raton Mayors Ball Nov. 16
Bringing Boca Raton its own Mayors Ball, presented in iconic honored tradition of the
annual themed galas in the cities of Palm Beach and Miami, the Rotary Club Downtown
Boca Raton once again will roll out the red carpet as it presents the fifth annual Boca Raton
Mayors Ball, Saturday, Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. To be held this year at Boca West Country Club,
the black-tie dinner/dance gala will feature a lavish reception and dinner, set amidst City-
themed décor and the dance floor-filling live music of the Steve Chase Band.
Annually recognizing the City’s visionaries past and present, this year’s three Rotary
Club Downtown Boca Raton George Long Awards – named for the City’s first mayor will
be presented to Lynn University President Kevin Ross (individual), Florence Fuller Child
Development Centers (nonprofit) and BlueGreen Vacations (for-profit) for championing the
tradition of bringing indelible visionary ideas and transformation to Boca Raton.
Funds raised through the annual Boca Raton Mayors Ball benefit Boca Raton-based
nonprofits with needs for health and wellness services and programs through a formal grant
process. Proceeds from the 2018 Mayors Ball fulfilled grant requests submitted by 27 area
nonprofits, as well as contributed to Rotary International’s foundation that supports the
eradication of polio. Additionally, through a $200,000 pledge by Barbara and Bobby Campbell
announced at last year’s Mayors Ball, the club established the Bobby Campbell Health &
Wellness Fund. This fund will provide for annual global grants, matched substantially by
the Rotary International Foundation. Mayors Ball Committee. (From left, front row) Kim Champion, Arlene Herson, Michael
