West Palm Beach, Florida – Each year, Clinics Can Help (CCH) and its heartfelt base of advocates and supporters gather for the Cribs for Kids luncheon to spur funding, collect resources, and build awareness around CCH’s mission. While CCH serves children and adults in need of medical equipment year-round, this special event focuses on its most precious clients, newborns and infants, in need of a safe place to sleep. This year, the organization is proud to announce that Emmy award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien will lend her voice to the event as speaker.
O’Brien is an award-winning journalist, philanthropist, and founder of Soledad O’Brien Productions, a media production company dedicated to telling empowering and authentic stories on a range of social issues. O’Brien’s work has been recognized with ten Emmy awards, three George Foster Peabody Awards, and many others. Her passion for supporting young people is realized by way of her foundation, PowHERful, which has helped dozens of young women get to and through college. Soledad lives between New York City and West Palm Beach with her husband Brad, and her four children.
“We are incredibly honored that Soledad will join us for our annual event,” shared Clinics Can Help CEO Owen O’Neill. “She believes truly in giving a voice to all and will certainly be doing so by helping to raise awareness and funds at our event.”
Taking place on Friday, December 5th, The Cribs for Kids Luncheon will turn The Ben, located in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, into a winter wonderland. Upon stepping in to the space guests will feel the glitz of the holidays and get a head start of their holiday shopping with local vendors providing a holiday shopping experience. Following their shopping time, guests will head to the ballroom for a chef curated lunch, the chance to learn more about the work the nonprofit does and to hear a personal client experience sharing how a simple crib truly transformed their child’s life. Both a live and silent auction will give attendees the chance to bid on fabulous items and experiences while further helping to support the organization’s mission.
Tickets for the event begin at $300. Table purchases and sponsorships are still available. For additional information about the 4th annual Cribs for Kids luncheon, or Clinics Can Help, please visit www.clinicscanhelp.org.
