(Press Release) Boca Raton, FL (May 12, 2025) – Boca Helping Hands (BHH) supporters rolled the dice and danced the Charleston at the sold-out 2025 MONOPOLY® & Casino Night on April 26 at The Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club in Boca Raton. With a Roaring ’20s theme that dazzled from start to finish, guests enjoyed an unforgettable evening of music, auctions, casino games, cocktails, dinner, and the crowning of this year’s MONOPOLY® champion, Mike Wohl.

Flapper dresses, feathered headbands, and pinstripe suits added flair to an evening that transported attendees back to the Jazz Age. The ballroom was transformed with Gatsby-inspired glamour and MONOPOLY®-themed décor—including a speakeasy-style casino and vintage board game touches that made for a visually stunning experience.
 
The event's roaring success was thanks to an enthusiastic planning committee led by co-chairs Yvette and Chris Palermo and Jessica and Alex Price. Committee members included Kathy Adkins, Ronnie Bidder, Yolanda Brennan, Andrea Chang, Robin Deyo, Justin Ely, Binky Fash, Christie Galeano-DeMott, Nikki Gentile, Al Goldberg, Jonie Goldberg, Phoebe Kolesar, Mark Malis, Michelle Martin, Wendy Sadusky, Joanna Thomson, Bob Tucker, Trisha Vaca, and Yasmine Zyne-Coleman.
 
Boca Helping Hands Board President Gary Peters, a two-time National MONOPOLY® Champion, served as the MONOPOLY® tournament mediator and shared his passion for the event’s creative theme. “Combining the timeless excitement of MONOPOLY® with the energy of the Roaring ’20s made for a truly unforgettable evening. Most importantly, every roll of the dice helps support neighbors in need through Boca Helping Hands,” Peters said.
 
Proceeds from the event will help BHH serve over 35,000 people in the South Florida community through its programs, including hunger relief, job training, healthcare, emergency financial assistance, childcare, and weekend meals for Palm Beach County schoolchildren.
It was truly a Gatsby-worthy night of glitz, glamour, and giving back.
