Achievement Center marks 10 years of fundraiser tours

Posted by Mary Kate Leming on March 2, 2011 at 15:07
For the 10th year, the Achievement Centers for Children & Families is offering its renowned home tour, which gives a peek into some of the unique homes in the downtown Delray Beach area. This year’s featured area is the Seagate neighborhood, five blocks south of Atlantic Avenue between A1A and the Intracoastal. The tour is a huge community favorite, drawing more than 600 people, and is the achievement center’s major fundraiser.
Advance tickets are a must.
    Foundation executive director Stephanie Seibel said the event is so popular, some people take the day off from work, so they can enjoy the tour at a leisurely pace. Others plan their work schedules to get through the homes on their lunch hour.
    The week before the show, organizers will mail out the tickets — with a map and instructions of where to start the tour. Two trolleys will run all day for those who want to take a ride to the next stop.
    • Thursday, March 10
    • 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
    • Tickets are $100, and include lunch at The Seagate Beach Club
    • For tickets, call 266-0003 or visit www.delraychild.org/hometour.html
