Gulfstream Goodwill Industries crosses the finish line at 2nd Annual ‘Drive to Provide’
Friday, Feb. 16 — The Lake Pavilion, West Palm Beach
The second annual The Gulfstream: Drive to Provide took place on Feb. 16 at The Lake Pavilion in downtown West Palm Beach. Hosted by the Gulfstream Region Porsche Club of America, the event supported Gulfstream Goodwill Industries’ (GGI) homelessness prevention and disability services. The benefit was attended by more than 200 people and was chaired by Stephen Grossman, general manager for Braman Motorcars.
“Thanks to your support, we’re able to continue making a difference in the lives of those facing homelessness in South Florida,” said GGI President and CEO Karen Davidson. “The funds raised will significantly aid in our mission to provide housing, training, education and employment opportunities to the most vulnerable members of our community.”
The benefit included 40 Porsches from private collections, silent and live auctions, entertainment from DJ Sage, and gourmet fare from GGI’s Career Academy of the Palm Beaches. A highlight of the night was auctioning a Porsche Cayenne hood, uniquely adorned with speed-painted artwork by internationally acclaimed artist Michael Israel.
Sponsors included presenting sponsor Braman Porsche West Palm Beach, Gardens Wealth Management, Florida Insurance Trust, The Jorgensen Foundation, Abaco Automotive, Fantastic Finishes, GL Homes, Gunster, K2 Motorcars, Legends Radio, One Digital, Peter and Suzanne Krones, Joan McCabe and Karl Eisleben, Nason Yeager, Supercar Week and WPBF.
“Gardens Wealth Management is proud to help bring this event to life and raise funds to aid the homelessness crisis plaguing our community,” said Michael Cowan, GGI Vice Chair and Gardens Wealth Management Managing Principal. “More than 1,500 people call the streets of Palm Beach County home every night. Donations are critical to help provide a hand up, not a handout to our community’s most vulnerable.” For more information on GGI, visit goggi.org or call 561-848-7200.
