The Arc Raises $77,650 With WILD Pants Party
The Arc of Palm Beach County puts the “fun” in
fundraising. On Dec. 2, supporters and clients celebrated
the finale of the annual WILD Pants fundraiser with a
rowdy runway show at Gehring Group in Palm Beach
Gardens. The party celebrated individuality, innovation,
and community spirit, and raised more than $77,650 to
support programs for people with disabilities.
Throughout the fall, advocates for The Arc used social
media and personal outreach to show off their outrageous
pants and compete for the title of top fundraiser. At the
finale, Aaron and Julie Menitoff took home top honors
and the championship belt. Josh Sandquist hyped up the
crowd and earned the popular vote.
“The support of our generous community is vital to
achieving our goal of helping people with disabilities live,
learn, work, and thrive. Our clients and their families rely
on us every day, and we need the community’s support
