BOCA RATON — The 10th Annual Men with Caring Hearts (MWCH) awards luncheon will take place April 28 at Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton.
The event gives non-profit organizations an opportunity to provide community-wide recognition and thanks to male volunteers who have given time, talent, energy and resources to make life better for others in Palm Beach County.
Men with Caring Hearts chairs Mark Wyllie and Carrie Rubin
This year’s event will be chaired by Carrie Rubin, a Boca Raton philanthropist and a Florence Fuller Child Development Center board member, and Mark Wyllie, CEO of Flagship Solutions Group, Inc.
Cliff Viner, general partner of AVM, L.P. as well as chairman and owner of the Florida Panthers hockey club, will be this year’s “Biggest Heart.” This is a title given to a philanthropic leader whose selfless dedication has impacted individuals and the community at large.
In addition to the Biggest Heart, all Palm Beach County nonprofit organizations are invited to pay tribute to one gentleman who has made a significant difference to their organization for the Outstanding Volunteer Service award.
Also, a new award this year is the opportunity for the participating agencies to nominate a male youth volunteer for the first ever Youth in Philanthropy award.
To bring even more recognition to these volunteers, FFCDC announces that it will grant $500 to the Outstanding Volunteer Service award winner to give to the charity of his choice. The winner will also benefit from the award with a $500 scholarship toward his education and new notebook computer compliments of Toshiba.
The event is predicted to be another sell-out. For details, contact Jenny Mahoney, 561-391-7274 x 125.
Proceeds will benefit programs at FFCDC, which provides quality childcare and preschool education to 625 children from low-income families at its two locations, in east and west Boca Raton.
