Sold Out Inaugural Event

Roots and Wings, a Delray Beach based 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization dedicated to improving the quality
of education in the extended South Florida community, announced
today that its inaugural “Wisdom, Wizards & Wine”
event raised over $50,000. The sold-out event was held at
the Boca Raton Museum of Art on Tuesday, December 5,
2023, and featured dinner, a wine presentation, wizardthemed
centerpieces, a unique “Wisdom Hunt” scavenger
hunt, and a live auction led by former Palm Beach County
Mayor Robert Weinroth.
The money raised during the event will specifically support
Roots and Wings’ Project UpLift, an after-school tutoring
program for public elementary school students in Title
One schools. The program works primarily with students in
grades one through three, focused on helping them reach literacy
proficiency by the end of the third grade. The program,
now in thirteen schools throughout Palm Beach County, is
currently working with over 1,000 students and has expanded
to also serve students in grades four and five. Learn more
