PROPEL (People Reaching Out to Provide Education and Leadership) will host its annual spring fundraiser at 6 p.m. Thursday April 29 at the Mizner Piazza. The Piazza is located beneath the statue of Addison Mizner at Royal Palm Place in the southwest corner at Mizner Boulevard and Federal Highway in Boca Raton. “Fine Wine and K-9s” is the name given to an event that combines the best gourmet dining, a variety of fine wines, live music and the appreciation of all varieties of dogs, in a lovely, lively event under the stars. Many of Royal Palm Place’s finest restaurants will be proving their most acclaimed fare in tasty, munchy portions. The food will be complemented by appropriate red, rose and white wines from top vineyards. Featured entertainment will be provided by 12-year-old child prodigy violinist Sage McBride, jazzy rhythm and blues by 45 Live and a painting show by performance artist Michael Israel. Other attractions include a concert for the Biggest, Baddest, Prettiest, Best-Dressed and Smallest Dog and a silent and live auction, with Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshawas auctioneer. PROPEL was founded by Marta and James Batmasian in 2003 as a 501 (c) non-profit organization to improve the quality of life for economically disadvantaged and at-risk youth in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. PROPEL locates teachers, mentors and role models who genuinely care about our area’s youth to volunteer and share their expertise and life experiences first-hand with youth ages eight to 24. PROPEL focuses primarily on the all-important middle school years, but no child is turned away. PROPEL has enlisted a network of more than 50 businesses willing to assist in practical hands-on training and advice. Programs include basic educational tutoring, fitness, life skills, music education, higher education and job and college placement. PROPEL is also about fun and friendship for youths who otherwise may have nowhere else to turn. In the spirit of fun and friendship, dog lovers are encouraged to bring their leashed, well-behaved pooches to “Fine Wines and K-9s,” but dog ownership is not required to participate. “Fine Wines and K-9s” offers the opportunity the sample the varied cuisine at Royal Palm Place in a single evening. The all-inclusive price is just $45, and it is tax-deductable, so you can feel good about doing good. PROPEL representatives will be on the premises to dispense information.
