In early 2025, Place of Hope captivated the Palm Beach community with two powerful events dedicated to uplifting vulnerable children and families. The highly anticipated Runway of Hope, held at the iconic Royal Poinciana Plaza, blended fashion and fundraising in a vibrant afternoon that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and featured spirited runway walks by local leaders.
Just weeks later, the 19th annual Hope Bash brought supporters together at Trump National Jupiter for an elegant evening of giving with an international theme exemplifying the Passport of Hope. Together, these events showcased the community’s unwavering commitment to Place of Hope’s mission of healing, restoration, and opportunity for those overcoming abuse, neglect, and homelessness. Sponsored by Lexus, Chaired by: Marla Paxson, Nicole Paxson, Dr. Arghavan Welch
