Local Law Firm Announces Inaugural “Bresky Bash” Benefiting Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County
Event-goers will also have the opportunity to create a “Hands Up in Justice for All” themed mural and receive free admission to the Boca Raton Museum of Art following the Bash, from 3PM to closing.
The Law Offices of Robin Bresky has stepped forward to host the community event with attorney Mark Eiglarsh the event emcee. Eiglarsh is a South Florida attorney who is also a broadcast legal analyst, featured The View, Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew, where he provides insight on compelling legal issues.
In addition to music by DJ Nikko Capria of Nikko Entertainment, food trucks, balloon artists, face painters, children’s activities and crafts and jewelry shopping, there will be over three dozen legislators and government officials, presidents from several bar associations, attorneys, companies and nonprofit advocates on stage to perform as Community Justice Dancers.
The original dance routine was being created and taught by the professionals at Dance With Me Dance Studio at their Town Center of Boca Raton location. The Studio, which opened last year, was founded by ABC Television’s “Dancing with the Stars” professionals Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Valentin Chmerkovskiy.
“This is an opportunity for leaders and advocates to ‘take a lead’ in an inspiring high-energy and engaging community-unifying event to support the Legal Aid Society,” shared Robin Bresky. In addition to founding her law firm, Robin currently serves as an elected member of the Florida Bar Board of Governors and is the immediate past president of the National Conference of Women’s Bar Associations, past president of South Palm Beach County Bar Association and past president of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers. She went on to note, “In Palm Beach County — where we live, work, play and learn — we know that domestic and elder abuse continues to rise (much in silence) and as colleagues in the legal and civic community we can make a difference.”
To that end, the Bresky Bash has a three-fold mission: raise awareness of the LASPBC, increase education on the meaningful work of the LASPBC and raise funds to help expand LAPSBC services to those who need it the most.
