2008 Palm Beach Events

17th Annual Discovery Ball
February 16, 2008
The Mar-a-Lago Club

A fundraiser to benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund, the Discovery Ball is one of the premiere events of the Palm Beach season. Chaired by Institute Trustee Michele Kessler and her husband Howard, the 17th annual Discovery Ball will surely be another outstanding success.

Proceeds help the scientists at Dana-Farber in their ongoing search for more effective cancer treatments and, ultimately, cancer cures. A portion is given to the Pediatric Oncology Support Team at St. Mary's Hospital in West Palm Beach.

Graff returns as Grand Corporate Benefactor of the Ball, and we are pleased to welcome Calibre, Wachovia's Family Office, as a Grand Corporate Benefactor.
