“As president of the BallenIsles Charities
Foundation, it fills me with immense pride and joy
to announce the awarding of $1,475,000 in grants
to 61 exceptional nonprofit organizations within our
Palm Beach County community. This remarkable
achievement is a true testament to the generosity
and spirit of our BallenIsles members and residents.
Together, we are making a meaningful difference in
the lives of those around us, and I am thrilled to see
our collective efforts uplift our local community,”
said BallenIsles Charities Foundation President Mark
Freeman.
In addition to monetary donations, through
BallenIsles Community Services, BallenIsles’

feeding the hungry, building homes with Habitat for
Humanity and donating household goods and medical
supplies, to wrapping presents for children during the
