Inside the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach’s 42nd annual dinner dance.
The revitalization of Palm Beach’s Phipps Ocean Park might still be underway, but on March 1, a lucky group of guests were treated to a vision of what the public beach and oceanfront park might look like once its refresh—which begins in June of this year—is complete.
The occasion? The 42nd annual Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach dinner dance, where guests including Christine and Steve Schwarzman, Amy and John Phelan, Aerin Lauder, John Paulson, Ken Griffin, Pauline Pitt, and more gathered to celebrate the charm—both natural and man-made—of the famed Florida destination.
“We came together in celebration of our mission to preserve the architectural heritage and unique scenic quality of our beautiful island,” said Amanda Skier, President of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach. We carry out this mission through advocacy work that protects our town’s distinctive character and educational programming that engages residents and empowers them as stewards.”
The evening broke records and raised $3.5 million for the foundation’s programs and advocacy work.
