The Delray Beach-based nonprofit Roots and Wings raised more than $50,000 at its inaugural event before a sellout crowd. The fundraiser’s festivities included dinner, a wine presentation, wizard-themed centerpieces, a ‘Wisdom Hunt’ scavenger game and a live auction. The money will support Project UpLift, a tutoring program for students in Title 1 elementary schools. ‘I want to sincerely thank all those who helped make this special inaugural event possible, including the sponsors, those who donated auction items and all those who came out to support the event,’ founder Ted Hoskinson said. ‘The $50,000 raised will go toward our Project UpLift literacy program and will provide more than 100 local students the opportunity to learn to read.’ ABOVE: (l-r) Pamela Weinroth, Jan Savarick, Daniel Hartwell and Pamela Polani.
