More than 100 philanthropists, civic leaders, business executives and supporters gathered October 21 at Lamarina in West Palm Beach for the inaugural Friends of THE FUND for West Palm Beach Police Blue Hour.
Hosted and underwritten by board members Ben Macfarland and Ned Grace, the waterfront evening brought longtime benefactors and new supporters together for cocktails, conversation and connections with local officers.
Macfarland and Grace joined THE FUND’s President BillBone and West Palm Beach Police Chief Tony Araujo in sharing how philanthropic support helps meet the needs of officers, their families and the community.
THE FUND supports educational scholarships, emergency financial assistance, specialized training and equipment, officer recruitment and community programs, including Shop with a Cop and holiday meal deliveries.
Residents and businesses are invited to become members year-round and help invest in a safer, stronger West Palm Beach.
