Crazy Uncle Mike Goodwin with Lip Sync Contestants

Local celebrities and community favorites pulled out all the stops when they performed in the Lip Sync Battle benefiting Nat King Cole Generation Hope Inc.

The FUNdraiser helped to support music education on Tuesday evening at Crazy Uncle Mike’s.

The event entertained the hundreds in attendance, while raising awareness and funds to provide music education to children with the greatest need and fewest resources.

Performers included Kristyn Cox, Nynke Henderson, Olivia Hollaus, Jennifer Jolly, Laura Kendrall, Christiana Lilly, Dorothy MacDiarmid, Laura Messler, Kelley Moulton, Michelle Olson-Rogers, Camille Rhone and Roxana Scaffidi.

Thank you to sponsors Onestage Studios, Crazy Uncle Mike’s and Allegiance Home Healthcare.

For the final Boca Chamber Festival Days event, FAU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities at Florida Atlantic University held its first BCFD event.  Partnering with Center Bank, they hosted A Taste of the City.

There were plenty of appetizers provided by Oceans 234, Fit Foods, True Kitchen and last but certainly not least in my opinion, Cinnaholic Gourmet Cinnamon Rolls.

Barrel of Monks was on hand with its own unique blends of locally brewed beer.

Additional funds were raised through vendor shopping and silent auction items.

Thursday evening we participated in  Fran Nachlas’ fundraising efforts for Boca Ballroom Battle at the Red Meat Lovers Steaks, Strikes & Stogies. The evening was held at Strikes @ Boca Raton.  It was a great venue to kick back, bowl a few games and enjoy cuisine from Potions in Motion.
