Set at the iconic Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Hanley Foundation’s 20th Annual Palm Beach Dinner hosted more than 350 guests on Thursday, February 20. The signature event raised a record $750,000 in support of innovative programs and recovery scholarships.
Event co-chairs Elizabeth Matthews, and Chip James, who is chairman of the Hanley Foundation Board, hosted a night of unforgettable fine dining, exclusive auctions, and captivating entertainment.
Notably, Hanley Foundation’s Chief Philanthropy Officer Turner Benoit presented Jane Foster, a celebrated Palm Beach author and donor, with the Hope Award for her dedication and longtime support of Hanley’s mission to eliminate addiction. The evening’s guest speakers and Hanley supporters also included Senator Gayle Harrel and Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.
