Palm Beach International Boat Show from page 1

The Palm Beach International Boat Show Gives Back
grant program is funded through the proceeds from the
annual Palm Beach International Boat Show, which include
ticket sales, optional add-on donations, and other boat
show-related endeavors. The Palm Beach International Boat
Show has a 42-year history and has made a major economic
impact on the region. It is a much-loved, annual tradition
for residents and visitors to South Florida, and is widely
known to be among a handful of must-attend, major boating
events in the world.
“The Palm Beach International Boat Show has always
given back to the community, and we want to enhance that
further by providing more funding to local nonprofits,” said
Rena Blades, director of community and government affairs
for the boat show. “We have pledged $500,000 in our first
year, and we hope to give millions in the future.” Grant recipients
