Deliver the Dream, a South Florida-based nonprofit organization that organizes retreats for families experiencing a serious illness or crisis, is turning-up the heat at its 7th annual Red Hot White Party presented by PNC Bank on February 23 at 7 p.m. at FAT Village. This year’s stylish soiree will feature a sizzling charity date auction showcasing some of South Florida’s most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes of all ages at the top of their careers.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Deliver the Dream’s 2018 Autism Retreat that will host as many 15 families (at no cost to the participants) to help them enhance coping skills, reduce stress and cultivate relationships with other families who have a child with an autism spectrum disorder. This retreat, along with nine other planned yearly retreats spanning various medical conditions including cancer, Down syndrome, epilepsy and HIV/AIDS, combines traditional recreational activities with therapeutic activities, peer-to-peer discussion groups and expressive arts and music activities.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with the stellar selection of this year’s Red Hot White Party bachelors and bachelorettes representing South Florida’s top companies who have generously donated their time to us and to families of children on the autism spectrum,” said Paul Withrow, executive director of Deliver the Dream. “We’re truly humbled by the tremendous community support and we’d like to thank our sponsors and event team members for making this the ‘can’t be missed’ date auction event of the social season. Together, we are helping families heal, one retreat at a time.”
The White Party theme highly encourages all guests to dress in white. Attendees will enjoy taste of the village hors d’oeuvres and top-shelf open-bar cocktails plus will have the opportunity to mix and mingle with the elite group of bachelors and bachelorettes up for auction. Each date will have his or her own unique accompanying entertainment package which may include concert tickets, outdoor adventures, performing arts shows, sporting event seats plus dinner and much more. Complimentary valet service will be provided, however, guests are asked to party responsibly and arrive in style with an Uber or a designated driver.
Some of this year’s bachelors and bachelorettes include Adam Keelan of The Zimmerman Agency; Josh Levine, attorney; Brian Whiteley of Deloitte; Ghia, radio personality at Big 105.9 FM; Kristina Lucia of Nova Southeastern University; Kristina Marcellino of Orange Theory and Jhenae Walker of PNC Bank. More bachelors and bachelorettes will be announced.
The 2018 Red Hot White Party is presented by PNC Bank. It is the first of two planned parties to benefit families in need. The second Red Hot White Party will take place on April 14 at Hunters Night Club in Wilton Manors and will focus on the LGBTQ community. This event will feature show-stopping LGBTQ bachelors and bachelors donating their time and resources to benefit Deliver the Dream’s HIV Retreat in October.
