A Night to Remember
Our 2025 Grande Finale of Impact 100 Men at the stunning and historic Chapel 4 was nothing short of magical. Set in the heart of Delray Beach’s Marina District, this unforgettable evening brought together our incredible members, their guests, and our three inspiring grand finalists all in celebration of generosity, community, and impact.
From the nautical-themed cocktail attire and vibrant live entertainment to the excitement of awarding $100,000 in charitable donations, every moment was filled with energy, gratitude, and purpose.
This night was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together. Thank you to our members who continue to grow this movement — your passion and commitment are the reason we’re able to make a difference in the lives of so many.
Congratulations to our finalists, and thank you to everyone who joined us for the social event of the year.
Organization: The Achievement Center
Program Name: Empower ED
The Program Need:
Empower ED: Tutoring and Mentoring for Achievement addresses the critical need for academic support among underserved K-12 students in Southern Palm Beach County. Data from ACCF’s school district data-sharing agreement highlights students' significant gaps in literacy, numeracy, and overall academic performance, compounded by limited access to resources, parental support, and structured interventions.
Organization: Speak Up for Kids of Palm Beach County
Program Name: STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids
The Program Need:
This program empowers high school students in southern Palm Beach County to advocate for foster children, addressing critical gaps in housing, mental health, and education. Through leadership training, advocacy campaigns, and the Life Skills Portal, the program transforms the lives of both foster youth and student advocates, creating a stronger, more empathetic community.
Organization Name: Take Stock in Children of Palm Beach County
Program Name: Male Student Expansion Growth Initiative
The Program Need:
When people hear Palm Beach County, they think dollar signs. In fact, the West Palm Beach/Palm Beach area ranks 3rd in the nation for cities with the fastest growth in millionaires, experiencing a 93% increase in millionaires between 2013 and 2023 (Henley & Partners USA Wealth Report.) Despite this incredible wealth and the many affluent communities in our county, 43% of households struggle to make ends meet (2023 ALICE Report, United Way.) Children living in our county's impoverished areas are not only underserved but uninvited from opportunities that will uproot their families from generational poverty. Students lack social-emotional learning opportunities, positive role models, academic support, and post-secondary access.
