“We were humbled and honored by the Gulfstream Region PCA’s partnership offer,” said Keith Kennedy, CEO of Gulfstream Goodwill Industries. “Their leadership has a genuine interest in spreading awareness and raising money for the homeless shelters and work programs we operate throughout Palm Beach County and in The Glades. As the largest provider of homeless shelters in Palm Beach County, all proceeds from the event will go toward funding temporary shelters, permanent housing, work training, and mental health and substance abuse programs for the homeless in our community.”

The blight of homelessness affects not only individuals, but local businesses. “We strongly believe the programs Gulfstream Goodwill Industries provides to our community are more necessary now than ever,” said Stephen Grossman, General Manager for Braman Motorcars. “We jumped at the chance to not only sponsor this event but provide the grand prize Macan and lend our resources to getting the word out that we must work as a community to eradicate homelessness and help provide our neighbors with a better life.”

We are delighted to be able to partner with Gulfstream Goodwill and have the opportunity to both celebrate our second anniversary as a club, but also help to do some good in our community.”
