Former Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel helped bring in more than $20,000 in donations for the Spirit of Giving Network to support the nonprofit’s community projects, including its Putting Kids First: Community Back to School Bash. The annual bash provides at-risk children with the school supplies they need to succeed. ‘Spirit of Giving Network was honored to have hosted the mayor’s appreciation reception as her tenure came to a close,’ said Doug Paton, the charity’s president.
