By Marci Shatzman/Boca Chamber Ambassador
Whether it’s favorite fundraisers like Boca’s Got Talent or new additions, local charities can raise their profile and donations at 27 Boca Chamber Festival Days during August.
Festival Days are the Chamber’s way to showcase nonprofits at member venues, long after summers were slow. No more.
“Now in its 46th year, we have more events than ever before. Twenty-seven fun and unique events for every taste, mostly at night, and include food and drinks,” said Alison Miuccio, Chamber membership development manager and Festival Days organizer.
