All “In It” to Support
Health and Wellness Needs of Boca’s Nonprofits
Since the inaugural event in 2015, Mayors Ball proceeds
have fulfilled more than $495,000 in health and wellness
grant requests for dozens of Boca’s nonprofits. Distributed
each year through the Rotary chapter’s formal “Service
Above Self” grant application process, last year’s 2022
Mayors Ball proceeds fulfilled grant requests submitted
by 24+ area nonprofits, as well as a percentage donated to
Rotary International’s fund for polio eradication.
“Everyone involved in and attending previous Mayors
Balls should feel immensely proud of both our city and the
contributions they make by supporting this gala event each
year,” said 2023 Mayors Ball Co-Chair Jon A. Kaye. “While
we have been fortunate to generate proceeds to address
many needs thus far, new challenges continue to arise. Thus,
with much excitement, we look forward to another sold-
out event, and expect the dance floor to be filled and lots
of smiles throughout the ballroom as together we celebrate
all that is Boca!”
