The PCMA Foundation fundraiser this year will celebrate the Palm Beaches’ theme of “Living in Color”.

The Palm Beaches are home to a diverse population and more than 39 cities and towns with neighborhoods that reflect the energy of a rich, cultural heritage. Our vibrant and holistic approach to life means living with authenticity, inclusion, connection, and compassion. This colorful lifestyle and our vivid natural landscapes inspire arts & culture, dining and wellness, to bring each event the Between-The-Sessions experiences that showcase the diversity of our local communities and visitors.

Tickets are $99 per person.
