Great food, live music, and the drinks were flowing at last Thursday’s ‘Taste for Hope’ event, as guests packed the house at Speranza’s Italian Restaurant in Boca Raton. It was an evening of food, fun, and philanthropy. The fundraising event was held in honor of Cleaning for Cancer, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by Boca Raton resident Nadege Desravines. The organization, which is headquartered in Boca, provides free residential cleaning services to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy nationwide.
Guests in attendance which included the entire staff of Raymond Lee Jewelers, Boca Raton, fashion designer, Kesi Case, and the Brazilian Business Group, danced the night away and were treated to performances by acclaimed jazz singer Alex Romano, Italian singer Lou Galterio, classic rock crooner Daniel Taylor, and even TransMedia’s own Abby Blake sang a song.
Guests charitably opened their pocketbooks and were eager to purchase raffle tickets, which boasted over 30 donated giveaway items, including Stanley Steemer, Crown Wine & Spirits, Salon on Fifth, New York Prime, Renzo’s, Evolution Fitness, Salon Monaco, All Star Cupcakes, Two Fat Cookies, and Flakowitz, among others.
Raymond Lee Jewelers designed a special Cleaning for Cancer: Hope, Faith, Love charm and unveiled the design at the event. The charms were available for pre-sale. Raymond Lee Jewelers is graciously donating 100% of the sales for the first 30 pendants sold to Cleaning for Cancer.
