The generosity of sponsors and attendees makes a difference in the lives of so many” said Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton Mayors Ball Co-Chair David Eltringham. We are so excited

to again be able to host this spectacular evening and expect the dance floor to be filled and smiles all around as together we celebrate all that is Boca!”
