The elegant Prime Cut at Boca West Country Club was the
setting when members and friends of Impact 100 Palm
Beach County gathered for a Cocktails & Conversations reception
on November 18, hosted by Impact members Sharon DiPietro
and Edith Stein. The event welcomed women in southern Palm
Beach County interested in joining the organization and making
a huge impact on nonprofit organizations in the community.
“Our organization was founded in 2011 with the goal of becoming
a dynamic leader in women’s philanthropy through
high-impact grants awarded to non-profits, dedicated to improving
lives and communities in south Palm Beach County,”
noted Adkins. “Last year, we received our 501c3 non-profit status
and are currently the second largest Impact 100 chapter
COPYRIGHTED
in the world – Impact 100 Palm Beach County is a major grant
funder is our area and we are so very proud of that.”
Adkins then introduced 2016 grant recipient Jonathan Price,
Vice President, Grants & Fund Development of Alzheimer’s
Community Care.
Impact 100 Palm Beach County is a women’s 501c3 nonprofit
