Barefoot on the beach for the Boys & Girls Club

Barefoot on the Beach, one of the favorite events of young Palm Beach society, brought 400-plus people clad all in white to The Breakers Saturday night. The shindig raised a boatload of money for the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Beach County. Not too many guests, however, came barefoot. As a matter of fact, stilettos were de rigueur for women. And the resort’s great pool area, not the beach, was the venue. Not that anyone complained, though. Who needs sand in the sushi?

Among the pretty people: Reid Boren and Lora Atkinson, co-chairs; Taylor Collins, Junior Chair; man-about-town JC Collado; former Palm Beach County Commissioner Bob Kanjian; Barcardi CEO John Esposito, who lives in Jupiter; former gubernatorial galpal Kelly Heyniger, and plenty more. Richard Rogers, son of Mary Kay founder Mary Kay Ash, picked up a large portion of the party’s tab, allowing the non-profit to maximize revenues.  Check out Page2Live’s big gallery, by Mike Jachles: Click here or on the photo above.

    It was a fantastic evening- It’s one of the best tickets in PB. Congratulations to all of the chairs, committee members and staff who helped make this event an enormous success. Special thanks to Mary Kay for their generous underwriting.

    Do you know where alot of this money will go? The U.S. Senate wants to know why: CEO Roxanne Spillett has been receiving a $1 million dollar compensation from the Boys and Girls Club since 2006 and why in 2008 they spent $4.3 million on travel, $1.6 million on conferences, conventions and meeting and $544,000 in lobbying fees! Maybe some of this cash will stay in Palm Beach County. Gotta love a corrupt CHARITY.

    WOW. Look at the names. Seems like a russian hooker convention. Who sponsers those girls who come here? They are on the prowel looking for some old rich sucker they can marry and divorce and grab their cash.

    Former Charlie Crist Gal Pal? Huh?

    What a joke….allegedly almost everyone knows he’s tutti fruti!

    Palm Beach is such a pretty place but SO MANY of these things are SO TRANSPARENTLY FAKE!

    I must say…Poster #5 is right.

    It really does look like an aging homo-meets Russian Hooker convention.
