When organizers of last year’s “Indulgence, The Ultimate Girls’ Night Out” fundraiser faced the possibility of having to turn away an unexpected overflow of guests, they quickly regrouped.
A new venue: the Delray Beach Club; an expanded invitation list: more than 350, and the addition of a VIP hour will help make the Achievement Centers for Children & Families’ benefit a second-year success story.
“It was so popular,” said Emma-Jane Ramsey, the nonprofit’s events and marketing manager. “We sold out and well exceeded our numbers. We wanted to step it up this year. We needed to.”
The event will take place Oct. 9, when guests will enter the doors of the recently renovated waterfront club.
“I want our guests to walk away wowed, having enjoyed the whole experience,” Chairwoman Donna Hauser said. “I want them to feel as if their kind support and donations were not only greatly appreciated, but having them so excited by the event, they will support us once again next year.”
Event-goers can expect decadent delights, including Champagne, wine and dinner bites, soothing services, such as mini-massages, reflexology treatments and intuitive readings, and products to pamper the face and body.
Proceeds from Indulgence, The Ultimate Girls’ Night Out will help the Achievement Centers for Children & Families continue to provide toddler and after-school care to more than 700 economically disadvantaged children annually. Money raised also will benefit a new summer-camp program at Pine Grove Elementary School.
“Our goal, of course, is to earn as much money as we can for the children and families and gain exposure to bring awareness to the community,” Hauser said. “Children have always held a warm place in my heart, and this has truly been a labor of love.”
