Guests at the “Safari Soiree”-themed Cocktails for the Club event should get ready for a wild night of giving back to the Boys & Girls Club of Delray Beach.
The Dec. 9 fundraiser at the St. Andrews Club will feature signature animalistic libations, gourmet action stations, live music and entertainment, and an over-the-top silent auction.
“A lot of love is going to go into the drinks and the food,” Chairwoman Laura Compton said, noting that jungle juice — both alcoholic and nonalcoholic — will be served along with made-to-order rice bowls with seasonings from around the world. “As a result, you’re going to see an elevated level of fun and festivity.”
One of the first big social gatherings of the season in Delray Beach, Cocktails for the Club has expanded this year by 50 tickets, for a total of 300 guests.
“It has always been indoors,” Compton said. “This year we’re taking a gamble. The event’s going to be indoors and outdoors.”
Proceeds benefit life-changing programs that empower local youths to achieve academic success, build character and leadership skills and live healthy lifestyles — the club’s core focus areas.
“We now know that supporting young people — especially through empowerment and mentorship during critical developmental stages — can profoundly shape their long-term outcomes,” Compton said. “The opportunity to influence children and adolescents at these pivotal moments is both meaningful and impactful. Youth development is one of my greatest passions, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative effect that strong community engagement can have.”
