Want socially responsible team-building programs?

The organization welcomes group assistance for full or half days, but limits the number of volunteers to 20 per construction site.

Want to give attendees the VIP treatment?

After a day of meetings on board a private yacht chartered from Lots of Yachts, take attendees on a chauffeur-driven history tour of Palm Beach island’s fabulous mansions with Island Living Tours. Then, let the guests unwind with a round of golf, a spa treatment or some time at the beach before whisking them off to dinner at The Phillips Point Club by The Breakers, which has wraparound views of the Intracoastal Waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and Palm Beach. Let them settle down for the night at one of the area’s historic luxury resorts, such as The Breakers, The Colony Hotel, The Brazilian Court or The Chesterfield.
