Dr. Barry Davis won the most votes awarding him the 2015 Doctor of Distinction out of more than 100 doctors that were nominated for the Award at the 17th Annual Honor Your Doctor luncheon held at Boca West Country Club on Thursday, March 26th.
“This was the most successful “Honor Your Doctor” luncheon in its 17 year history, on many fronts. I am extremely pleased to say that we raised more money for scholarships than in any previous year, had more Doctors nominated and more in attendance with a record-breaking 270 guests at the event ,” said Event Chair Alan Kaye.
Each Honor Your Doctor nominee was presented with an engraved plaque. In addition to the engraved plaque,
Dr. Barry Davis also received an engraved crystal platter from Tiffany & Company and a proclamation from City of Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie that states March 26, 2015 as Dr. Barry Davis Day.
This year’s Honor Your Doctor luncheon was chaired by Alan Kaye, former and founding president of the Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton. Honorary Chair was Christine Lynn who was the Chair for the first Honor Your Doctor luncheon 17 years ago presented by the GFWC Boca Raton Woman’s Club when Helen Babione was President and developed the concept for Honor Your Doctor.
