While the season in Palm Beach may be winding down, a vibrant social calendar continues with notable philanthropic gatherings. This weekend hosts two of the most beloved parties of the season: Barefoot on the Beach, a spirited celebration supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach, while Hospital Albert Schweitzer Haiti hosts White Hot Casino Party, promising an evening of sophisticated entertainment reminiscent of Monte Carlo.
On Friday April 4th, the savvy Chairmen Greg Connors, Craig Gibson, Jr., Camile and Charles Schumacher, Jr., Katen Lubin and Glenn Sutton will transform the Beach Club into a St. Barths-inspired tropical paradise, complete with pop-up boutiques, a silent auction, and a Caribbean buffet.
In its 23rd year, this event was founded by dedicated Board Members and consummate party givers, Reid Boren, Wally Turner, and Tom Quick.
For our what to wear to a white party, we are thrilled to bring you the best selection, both for now and the upcoming season ahead. First, take a look at the bright & breezy collection of short and to-the-knee frocks that say “Let’s Party in the most expedient way!”
Girls Just Want to Have Fun!
Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach is dedicated to providing life-changing programs and opportunities for youth in Palm Beach County. Their mission is to empower children and teens to reach their full potential by offering programs that promote academic success, healthy lifestyles, and good character. This amazing evening helps to fulfill these important goals in the community.
The very next night, Lady Luck rolls the dice for the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti in an enticing evening of entertainment and chance.
This is going to be a sensational soiree as swarms of swells sally to and fro to the sounds of the sea and the orchestra of Alex Donner. Let the games begin as the wheel spins with excitement and possibility.

Luck be a Lady Tonight!
Hôpital Albert Schweitzer Haiti opened its doors on June 26, 1956. Named in honor of Dr. Schweitzer, the hospital, with its modern facilities and services, became a model for effective, compassionate healthcare in the developing world. The organization brings quality primary health care closer to those people living in remote and often mountainous areas, who would otherwise not be able to access needed services.
