The best of Island life awaits guests attending Junior Achievement of the Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast’s (JA) coolest event, Caribbean Wind, on May 20, 2017 from 6 pm – 10 pm presented by The Esther B. O’Keeffe Charitable Foundation. Once again taking place at the Rybovich Superyacht Marina, attendees are invited to kick back for an evening under the stars during this special event.
Chaired by Nadine & David Fite, along with Junior chair Cat Castan the event will feature island music filling the air while guests enjoy specialty cocktails, tropical cuisine and hand-rolled cigars.
“This is such a great event to wind down the season,” shared Nadine Fite. “We are all getting in to the spirit of summer and what better way to enjoy an evening than in a South Florida sunset surrounded by incredible yachts.”
