The Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton will be holding the 16th Annual Honor Your Doctor luncheon on Thursday, April 3rd at Broken Sound Club. The fundraiser is the brainchild of Helen M. Babione who, as an active member of the Greater Federated Woman’s Club of Boca, has produced and sponsored the event for the last 15 years. This year’s Honor Your Doctor luncheon is chaired by Dr. Ronald Rubin and Robin Trompeter. Honorary Chairs are Dr. Michael. Dennis, Elaine Wold and Mitch Feldman and the Honorary Physician Advisor is Dr. Marc Taub.
After last year’s partnership between the GFWC and the Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton, the stewardship of this year’s event has now been turned over to the Rotary Club’s members who are passionate about raising funds to support the medical community in Boca Raton.
“This special event gives our community a much-needed opportunity to raise funds for deserving students to attend our local universities, and at the same time, recognizes the efforts of our growing medical community,” said co-chair Robin Trompeter. “The key to encouraging these students to remain in practice here in South Florida is to have them engaged in the community early on and that is the mission of Honor Your Doctor.”
“As a Physician, founding board member of the FAU Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine and a Rotarian, I am very proud that we are recognizing the outstanding contributions that Doctors in our community provide,” added Rotarian and Honor Your Doctor co-chair Dr. Ron Rubin.
The public is invited to nominate their favorite doctor by downloading a nomination form online at the www.rotarydowntownbocaraton.org website and donate $40 per nomination or $100 for 3 nominations; all nominated doctors will be invited to attend the luncheon as a guest. Tickets for the luncheon are available to the public for $75.00 per person. The event is a fundraiser for the Helen M. Babione Medical Scholarship Fund and will benefit medical and nursing school students attending four local universities: Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at FAU, Christine Lynn Nursing School at FAU, Lynn University and Palm Beach State College.
