BOCA RATON – The Florence Fuller Child Development Centers (FFCDC) has announced the leadership team for the 2010 Wee Dream Ball, the agency’s popular fundraising event, scheduled for December 3, 2010.
“We are thrilled that co-chairs Linda and Ra
lph Behmoiras, are returning and that Amy and Mike Kazma have agreed to join them as co-chairs for this year’s Ball,” said Peggy Henry, FFCDC vice president. Linda, publisher of The Boca Raton Observer and a FFCDC board member, and Amy, a busy Boca Raton volunteer fundraiser, are working tirelessly to raise funds to ensure that these at-risk children have access to the early childhood education, health and wellness programs, and nurturing child care services that they need. ”
“The children at Florence Fuller have a special place in my heart. Without the community’s support they would be unprepared for the challenges of elementary school and beyond,” Linda Behmoiras commented.
And Amy Kazma added: “The comprehensive care they receive prepares them physically, socially and academically. We can empower the children and their families to build a brighter future. Mike and I are thrilled to continue our involvement with FFCDC as co-chairs of the 2010 Wee Dream Ball. FFCDC is committed to providing comprehensive care to the children and families that rely on their services.”
This year’s Honorary Chair, Gail Wasserman, said she was humbled and honored by the invitation to join the Ball’s leadership team. She has taken a personal interest in the students’ and the Centers’ programs with music education as her passion. Gail’s commitment to children has come from many years of philanthropic projects in New York.
Since moving to Boca Raton, Gail has dedicated her time and support to Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, Lynn University’s Performing Arts Center and the Boca Raton Community Hospital.
Since its launch in 2006, the Wee Dream Ball, held at Woodfield Country Club, has become a community favorite. This year’s event includes fabulous food and wine surrounded by enchanting décor, including the eagerly awaited night of dancing.
The event has been voted one of the “Top 10 Galas” in Palm Beach County. Full details are available at ffcdc.org or by calling Jenny Mahoney 561.391.7274 ext. 125.
