A Tradition of Generosity, A Legacy of Impact

Each year, the event brings together a growing community in a powerful display of kindness, compassion, and the holiday spirit.
"I never imagined this would grow the way it has," said Robert Donohoo, event founder. "I just wanted to do something small to help. But year after year, people kept showing up, giving more, doing more. This event isn’t about me—it’s about what we can accomplish together when we decide to care for kids who need us."
A Community United in Giving
The extraordinary success of this year’s event was made possible through the generosity and commitment of key sponsors, whose contributions ensured that foster children across Palm Beach County would experience the magic of the holiday season:

Champagne Sponsor: ProGreen Services, LLC

The event’s continued growth and impact would not be possible without dedicated champions such as Barry Vankat and Val Groger, Lee Faxon, Terry Sykes, and the Fishers, whose steadfast commitment has helped elevate this initiative to new heights. Their leadership, along with the unwavering support of countless donors and volunteers, ensures that this tradition will continue to flourish.
"The heart of this event isn’t just the money raised or the gifts given—it’s the friendships formed, the generosity extended, and the collective belief that every child deserves to feel valued," said Coleen LaCosta, Executive Director of Speak Up for Kids PBC. "Robert embodies the very best of what it means to lead with kindness. His quiet magic has inspired thousands to give, and the impact of that generosity will be felt by foster children for years to come."
