More than 350 people were on the beach at Sharky’s on the Pier to enjoy dazzling views of the Gulf, dine on delicious tropical fare, and support at-risk children and families in our community. Fashionable finds from L. Boutique, Sun Bug, Buttons & Bows and Scout and Molly’s were modeled by Children First supporters and adorable children.
Guests also entered a raffle, shopped for orchids and supported Children First by purchasing “Helping Hands.”
Co-Chairwomen were Faith Goldman, Lisa Jackson, Andrée Keebaugh, and Vanessa Opstal.
