This season, everyone is invited to celebrate the holidays and the spirit of community by attending Children’s Harbor’s annual Boat Parade Watch Party, presented by Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers, on Saturday, December 13, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Grateful Palate Waterfront, located at 3003 NE 32nd Ave. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This isn’t your typical fundraiser—there will be no formal pitch or donation ask. Just good company, great views, and a chance to celebrate the season while supporting an incredible cause. Attendees will have prime viewing opportunities of the stunning boats decked out in seasonal décor cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway in the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade route.
The event offers guests an all-you-can-eat feast, an open bar, and a prime view of one of Fort Lauderdale’s top holiday experiences, hosted at an iconic South Florida restaurant. Front-row seats not only provide the best visibility to the parade but also spotlight the impactful work Children’s Harbor is doing for families in the community.
“Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and cared for,” said Jesse Bernheim of Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers. “Children’s Harbor makes that possible every day, and I’m proud that our team can play an important part in helping those kids build brighter futures. At Bernheim Kelley, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are.”
Children’s Harbor is a nationally accredited nonprofit organization that provides safe shelter and support to teens in foster care while strengthening families in the community. With a main campus in Pembroke Pines, Children’s Harbor provides a supportive environment for teenagers and their siblings, offering programs focused on strengthening the family as a whole. The nonprofit’s services include free in-home counseling to prevent children from entering foster care and a Maternity Home program for safe intergenerational living for teen mothers.

“We’re incredibly thankful to Bernheim Kelley for stepping up as our presenting sponsor for the second year in a row. They are heart-deep and mission-focused, and that level of commitment truly empowers us to provide the critical interventions at Children’s Harbor that wouldn’t be possible without private funding,” said Tiffani Dhooge, President and CEO of Children’s Harbor. “With partners like them in our corner, we can reach even higher for our kids.”
