COMMUNITY
Dr. Mitchell Josephs Receives 2024 Hats Off Community Hero Award from Nonprofits First®
West Palm Beach, FL – Dr. Mitchell Josephs, a specialist in implant, cosmetic and general dentistry in Palm Beach, who provides complete smile makeovers to Holocaust Survivors at no cost, was granted the 2024 Hats Off Community Hero Award by Nonprofits First®, an organization that accredits and provides resources to nonprofits
in Palm Beach County. Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Family Service (Alpert JFS), a nationally accredited non-profit, non-sectarian organization serving children, adults, seniors, and Holocaust survivors, nominated Dr. Josephs for the award.
The annual Hats Off Nonprofit Awards celebrate and honor nonprofit organizations and individuals in Palm Beach County that dedicate themselves to making the community a better place to live and work. This year’s Eighth Annual Hats Off Nonprofit Awards were presented on October 30, 2024, at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida.
After hearing a survivor speak to members of Palm Beach Synagogue a number of years ago, Dr. Josephs was moved and inspired to use his expertise, providing pro bono prosthodontic and oral surgical procedures on Holocaust survivors living below the poverty level. The patients are referred to Dr. Josephs by Alpert JFS. Inspired to help restore both their smiles and confidence, Dr. Josephs’ goal is to form an alliance of dentists and healthcare providers to join him in treating survivors free of charge.
“My hope is to have more doctors join me in putting aside some time each month to treat this segment of the population,” said Dr. Josephs.
Marc Hopin, CEO of Alpert Jewish Family Service, added: “We are delighted that Dr. Josephs is recognized for the work he does to help our Holocaust survivors. Alpert Jewish Family Service is appreciative of our partnership with him and we look forward to continuing to work with him for many years to come. He is a true hero, who is helping our heroes, our Holocaust survivors.”
According to Nonprofits First, there was a record-breaking number of nominees at this year’s Hats Off Nonprofit Awards. Other Alpert JFS nominees included: Eva Weiss, Lead Holocaust Care Manager and Community Education Specialist, for the ”Hats Off Lifetime Achievement Award” and Lyndora Frazier, Director of Mentoring 4 Kids, for “Hats Off Nonprofit Professional of the Year.”
Since 2005, Nonprofits First, Inc. has been the leading resource for strengthening the administrative and operational capacity of nonprofit organizations in the community. Comprised of experienced professionals, consultants, and volunteers, the vision of Nonprofits First is a community in which all nonprofits achieve their highest level of desired impact.

A Special Child Inspires New Boca Playground
By Marci Shatzman
It wasn’t the usual groundbreaking. Jordan Ogman’s infectious smile and insistence on shaking hands despite his situation charmed all the VIPs who hadn’t met the 9-year-old yet.
The groundbreaking setup in Patch Reef Park was backdropped by Pirates Cove this new inclusive playground is expected to replace by June 2025. All the adults involved in the project, from elected officials including Mayor Scott Singer, County Commissioner Marci Woodward and City Manager George S. Brown, other city staff and the architectural firm assembled for a traditional ceremony. A large poster with images of the new playground sat behind a mound of dirt and shovels, including a small shovel for Jordan. Then Jordan himself arrived with his parents Stacey and David, and the usual formalities were happily abandoned.
“This day was a long time coming,” Steven Engel, the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District commissioner who led the project approval announced before the photo session. Turns out an inclusive playground was inspired by Jordan’s battle with a rare neurological disorder. And when the Ogmans petitioned the district for a playground more suitable to Jordan’s abilities and other “differently abled children,” commissioners quickly approved the request. “We ran with it.
There was no pushback,” Engel said.
The Ogmans remain active in the project by consulting with district officials and Walters Zackria Architects, according to the district, which approved the design last November. “Dave and I have a mission that all children deserve to play,” Stacey Ogman said.
Here’s what the new playground will look like according to a district description:
“Nearly all the current playground’s natural features – including grasses, trees and rocks – will remain. Climbing structures, swings and slides will have softer artificial turf underneath, with shade structures above. The existing splash pad will receive a makeover, adding new interactive elements. A new Bankshot Basketball feature that exposes children to the sport in a non-competitive manner via adjustable hoops and different carnival-style games will be installed. Features like a wheelchair-compatible swing set and slides will be mounted on grassy hills rather than ladders. For parents, additional benches will have shaded, sight lines for monitoring their child’s play. New picnic areas, restroom facilities and additional ADA parking. A fence will surround the entire playground area to keep children from wandering unsupervised into different areas of the park.”
Boca Beach Chabad Jewish Center to Host 11 Widows From Israel”S HardHit City Of Ofakim
Boca Raton, FL – The Boca Beach Chabad Jewish Center, the new, premier center of Jewish communal life in East Boca, announced it will be hosting an exclusive Palm Beach County event hosting 11 women from Ofakim in Israel whose husbands died on October 7th, 2023 or in the tumultuous 13 months of war that followed. The women will be speaking at one event in each of the three South Florida counties and chose the new home of the Boca Beach Chabad as their Palm Beach County destination.
Dubbed the Women of Valor: Heroines of Ofakim, the event will be open to both men and women, will take place on December 3, 2024 and will include dinner, cocktails, and a discussion with these inspirational women about love, loss, and the Jewish value of resilience in the face of tremendous obstacles.
“Our Women of Valor series is an incredible way for us to honor the in-
nate strength of women who carry our families and our communities,” said Rabbi Ruvi New, spiritual director of the Boca Beach Chabad Jewish Center. “We are so privileged to be able to welcome the Heroines of Ofakim as part of this series, and our first Women of Valor event in our new home in East Boca.”
Part of the proceeds for this event will go to sponsoring these brave women’s R&R trip here to South Florida, and will go into a fund to pay for Bat Mitzvah celebrations for the young girls of Ofakim.
“Every Shabbat, we sing about the blessing of finding an Eshet Chaiyil, a woman of valor – a woman of strength,
a woman who does whatever is necessary to support their loved ones. These 11 women truly embody the spirit of Eshet Chaiyil,” New continued. “We are looking forward to an incredible, meaningful event. Come prepared to eat, drink, inspire, and be inspired.”
Tickets can be purchased at BocaBeachChabad.com/WoV. Event sponsors include MorseLife (lead sponsor), Diamonds by Raymond Lee, Dr. G Med Spa, and Amerant Bank – additional sponsorships are available. Please call 561-394-9770.

“Your hearts and minds must be made completely new, and you must put on the new self, which is created in God’s likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy.”
Ephesians 4:23-24 (GNT)
From the beginning, God’s plan has been to make you like his Son, Jesus. This is your destiny. God announced his intention at Creation: “Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image and likeness’” (Genesis 1:26 NCV).
In all of creation, only human beings are made in God’s image. But the image is incomplete and has been damaged and distorted by sin. So God sent
Most people handle failure much better than they handle success. Failure can build a person, while success can ruin a person. I have seen this in the lives of business leaders, politicians, athletes, actors, celebrities and local dignitaries. Perhaps the challenge of properly handling success is why Albert Einstein once said, “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.”
Success is not bad, but it must be digested. When we digest something, we break it down and it becomes part of the body, not something that sticks in our stomach and causes pain. Success is something we fully consume, or else it will fully consume us. How can success consume us? Four dangers come to mind:
Success often causes an overinflated view of your abilities. Think of what success brings –congratulatory praises for the star athlete; a bigger office, an impressive title, and more compensa-

Your Destiny Is to Become like Jesus
Jesus on a mission to restore the full image that we have lost.
What does the full “image and likeness” of God look like? It looks like Jesus Christ! The Bible says Jesus is “the exact likeness of God.”
People often use the phrase “like father, like son” to refer to family resemblance. When people see my likeness in my kids, it pleases me. God wants his children to bear his image and likeness too. The Bible says, “You were . . . created to be like God, with a life that truly has God’s approval and is holy” (Ephesians 4:24 GW).
Let me be absolutely clear: You will never become God, or even a god. That
prideful lie is Satan’s oldest temptation. Satan promised Adam and Eve that if they followed his advice, “ye shall be as gods” (Genesis 3:5 KJV).
Many religions and New Age philosophies still promote this old lie that we are divine or can become gods. This desire to be a god shows up every time we try to control our circumstances, our future, and the people around us.
But as creatures, we will never be the Creator. God doesn’t want you to become a god. He wants you to become godly—taking on his values, attitudes, and character.
As you work to fulfill your calling, remember that God’s ultimate goal for

Following A Winding Vocational Path
tion for the rising-star executive; standing ovations for the speaker or preacher; honors and accolades for the straight-A student. Everything seems to shout, “I did this!”
Success often brings with it a sense of entitlement that harms relationships. People treat you differently when you are successful. They do not question your decisions as often or as forcefully. They go to great lengths to accommodate your whims. They ask your opinion, even if you have no expertise on a subject. Entitlement says, “You exist to serve me,” rather than, “I exist to serve you.”
Success is addicting, and you become willing to do just about anything to keep it. Israel’s King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, tried to have a man killed when he felt his rule threatened. If Solomon could do that, then we are all vulnerable. We will cut corners, abandon friends, work longer than we should, fail to keep promises
and commitments. Success becomes an idol, a false god we serve. We can go to the other extreme and get complacent. Martin Filler said, “The danger for any artist whose work is both recognizable and critically acclaimed is complacent repetition.” Successful CEOs stop looking to lead. Success often seems great until you realize you have slowly abandoned the beliefs and the people that contributed to your prosperity. Jesus said, “For what will it benefit someone if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will anyone give in exchange for his life?”
(Matthew 16:26)
I am not opposed to success. The message here is how to properly handle success. People can do much good when they digest success properly, using their authority, finances and acclaim to help others and to serve God. This leads to a more fulfilled, satisfied life.
Proverbs 27:21 says, “The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, and each is tested by the praise accorded
your life on earth is not comfort but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.
Talk It Over
If all you ever knew about your calling in life was that you are to become more like Jesus, would you be satisfied? Why or why not?
Look at Ephesians 4:22-24. Why does changing the way we act start with being renewed in the way we think?
How can you know more about what Jesus is like so that you can become more like him?
him.” The praise of men tests and refines us. It reveals who we really are inside, what we truly value.
How do we digest success? It begins with remembering who helped you in your success; remembering the more noble purposes of success; and, most of all, remembering the deepest source of success: God.
If your success turns you to this kind of remembrance, three good things will result:
1. Success will increase your humility and restrain your arrogance.
2. It will cause you to think, “Look what God enabled me to do!” instead of “Look what I did!”
3. It will trigger a desire to help others and leverage your assets for others and God’s kingdom.

Toastmasters Centennial Anniversary in Boca Raton
Boca Raton, FL — Boca Raton Toastmasters Club 3299 is proudly celebrating the centennial anniversary of Toastmasters International with a special Open House on November 19, 2024. This event not only offers a glimpse into the empowering world of Toastmasters but also features a unique twist: a Humorous Speech Contest dedicated to the Toastmasters Centennial theme, ensuring an entertaining and memorable experience for attendees.
Toastmasters International has been fostering confidence and communication skills worldwide since October 1924, helping millions overcome glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, which affects approximately 75% of people. The Toastmasters approach to reducing speech anxiety involves gradual desensitization, providing members with regular speaking opportunities to ease nerves and build comfort in front of audiences. In a typical Toastmasters meeting, participants can grow in various ways — from delivering prepared speeches to facilitating meeting roles and offering constructive feedback. These interactions create a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and leadership development.
The Boca Raton Toastmasters Club, chartered over 50 years ago, has played a significant role in this mission locally, offering a space for individuals from diverse backgrounds and professions to sharpen their public speaking skills, gain confidence, and become more effective leaders. During the Centennial Open House, the club will spotlight several success stories from past members who attribute their professional achievements to the skills they developed through Toastmasters.
Club President Victoria Correa in-
vites everyone in the Boca Raton community to join in this once-in-a-lifetime celebration, whether they’re interested in personal development, professional networking, or simply seeking a good laugh. “Toastmasters is a place where people come together to conquer fears, refine skills, and enjoy the process,” says Victoria. “We’re excited to mark this historic milestone with our members and guests and celebrate the impact Toastmasters has had on so many lives.”
The event will take place at Boca Raton Community Center starting at 6:45 pm, with refreshments and networking opportunities available after the program. Admission is free, and all are welcome to experience the magic of Toastmasters in this special centennial celebration.
For more information about Boca Raton Toastmasters Club 3299 and to RSVP for the Centennial Open House, please visit us on social media and our website:
Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs. The organization’s membership exceeds 364,000 in more than 16,200 clubs in 145 countries. Since its inception in 1924, Toastmasters has helped people from diverse backgrounds become more confident speakers, communicators, and leaders.
Ship Smarter, Not Harder: Holiday Shipping Insights Unwrapped
(StatePoint) In today’s fast-paced, digital world, there are many gift-giving options for loved ones far and wide, from sending e-gift cards to their favorite shops and restaurants to creating custom video messages. However, a new survey from Duck brand, a leading maker of mailing and shipping prod-
ucts, finds that the festive fun of sending physical presents isn’t lost.
“We learned that most people—98%—send at least one package containing gifts and nearly half—46%— typically mail up to three gifts throughout the season,” says Natalie Guillaume, director of product marketing, packaging tapes, at Shurtape Technologies, LLC, the company that markets Duck brand. “To make the process holly and jolly, we recommend planning ahead and purchasing high-quality supplies to ensure presents arrive on time and in one piece.”
Good Tidings Delivered on Time
More than 60% of survey participants say they send their packages two
to four weeks in advance of when they need to arrive. Still, 43% express their greatest concern when mailing goods throughout the yuletide season is the parcel arriving on time. Knowing they can’t rely on the magic of Santa’s sleigh to make a timely delivery, Guillaume suggests getting ahead of the holiday hustle by checking delivery deadlines for the busy season. Then, leaving a little leeway to account for delays due to winter weather or other logistical challenges.
Don’t Let Tape Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle
When it comes to shipping, the wrong tape can turn anyone into a Grinch. Nearly half of people (45%) say tape not sticking well to boxes is
their biggest challenge. In this case, a heavy-duty tape will do the trick. Look for one with a wide temperature range performance, so you don’t have to worry about damaged deliveries due to a frosty forecast.
Additionally, 40% of people have experienced difficulty tearing packing tape. Duck Brand EZ Start Packing Tape, made with FrustrationFree technology, provides a simple solution for smooth, easy and quiet removal from the roll. The easy-to-use dispenser is uniquely designed to eliminate the annoyance of losing the tape end, which 39% of respondents say is a struggle.
With these tips, you can send parcels on their merry way for a holiday season of stress-free gift giving.
Kick off the Holidays With a Festive Cookie Recipe Exchange
(StatePoint) When we think about the holidays, a lot of the special moments we remember most fondly from years past involve sharing food with loved ones — from festive cookie exchanges to the scents and smells of family-favorite dishes and desserts, to warm beverages on cold nights.
That’s why McCormick is dishing up these cooking tips for creating special moments:
• Incorporate seasonal herbs, spices and seasonings like sage, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and nutmeg into your cooking and baking to provide long-lasting fresh flavors, vibrant colors and appetizing aromas.
• Use ready-to-make dry recipe mixes, such as turkey or brown gravy, to easily create perfectly blended flavors for sauc-
es that elevate your holiday meals.
• Rely on extracts like pure vanilla and peppermint to enhance the flavors and aromas of holiday treats.
This holiday season, the McCormick brand is also going on a virtual quest for the best holiday cookie recipe through the McCormick Cookie Quest contest. If you have a winning cookie recipe, consider joining in the fun. Official Rules and entry instructions can be found by visiting: mccormick.com/cookie-quest-terms-andconditions. [NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Starts 11/19/24; ends 12/8/24. Sponsor: McCormick & Company.]
In the spirit of the virtual cookie recipe exchange, McCormick is partnering with famed bakery Milk Bar and its rule-breaking, award-winning founder and CEO, Christina Tosi, to create and share Milk Bar x McCormick Candy Cane Pretzel Bark Cookies. On Dec. 4, which is National Cookie Day, select Milk Bar locations in New York City, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. will give away these scrumptious cookies to the first 100 customers, while supplies last. The limited-time cookie will also be on sale at select locations starting on National Cookie Day through December 31. And as part of the collaboration, McCormick and Milk Bar are also sharing the recipe,
so you can make these delectable cookies at home!
Ingredients:
• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Peppermint Extract
• 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons McCormick Candy Cane Sugar, divided
• 1 1/2 cups mini pretzels
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two half-sheet pans with no-stick cooking spray or line with parchment or silicone baking mats. Mix butter and sugars in large bowl with heavy spatula for about 2 minutes until well blended. Add egg and extracts, stirring until combined and fluffy, about 1 minute.
2. Mix flour, salt, baking powder
and baking soda in medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips, 3 tablespoons of the Candy Cane Sugar and mini pretzels, mixing until evenly blended.
3. Place remaining 1/4 cup Candy Cane Sugar in medium bowl. Use a 1/3cup measuring cup or 2 3/4-ounce cookie scoop to portion dough into balls. Toss dough balls in Candy Cane Sugar to coat and place 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared baking pans.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
Tip: Can’t get your hands on McCormick Candy Cane Sugar? Increase McCormick Peppermint Extract to 1 1/2 teaspoons, stir in 2 tablespoons of red colored sugar along with the chocolate chips, then use 1/4 cup red colored sugar to roll cookies before baking.
“The holiday season is all about sharing. That’s why we’re so excited to share one of our favorite holiday cookie recipes and encourage creative bakers all around the country to do the same,” says Giovanna DiLegge, vice president of Marketing, North American Consumer at McCormick.
Is It Recyclable? Let’s Talk About Drink Boxes
Boca Raton, FL – Today, many things are recyclable. But not everything. Let’s focus on drink boxes.
Drink boxes can include kids drinks with a straw and tetra pak beverage cartons with a cap. One could even go so far as saying these can be generalized as aseptic cartons.
According to the Carton Council, drink boxes are made from high-quality paper, an aluminum/plastic combination in some instances, and a thin layer of polyethylene (plastic), not wax, which is recyclable, too. So, you would think these would go into Palm Beach County’s yellow recycling bin. But, as drink boxes contain a food liquid, they should go into Palm Beach County’s blue recycling bin so other recyclable paper doesn’t become contaminated.
It is not necessary to wash out these containers before recycling them. Simply empty out all the liquid. You can
also keep the caps on the cartons and containers. But if the drink box has a straw, throw the straw in the trash.
To help the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (SWA) sort and capture more drink boxes from the blue recycling bin stream, the SWA installed an AI robot at the recycling facility in late 2022. This robot, affectionately named Roxie, focuses on sorting out drink boxes and aseptic cartons and other high-priority plastics.
In 2023, the SWA recycled more than 40 tons of aseptic cartons and gable-top containers. When recycled, the paper is used to make tissues, paper towels and writing paper, or sustainable building materials, such as roofing cover board or wallboard. And the aluminum/plastic combination can be used for generating energy or producing lumber board-like materials.
One thing to note, there are some
kids drinks that come in pouches. These pouches are not recyclable in Palm Beach County’s dual-stream recycling program and should be placed in the trash where they will be turned into energy.
Give your recyclables the future they deserve. Recycle right, Palm Beach County!
The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (SWA or Authority) is a Dependent Special District that was created by the Florida Legislature in 1975. Since then, the SWA has developed an award-winning integrated solid waste management system to handle the county’s waste and recyclables. We call ourselves AWAY: whether you throw it, recycle it or flush it AWAY, we put your waste to work. Each year, we:
Process 100,000 tons of recyclables
Combust approximately 1.8 million tons of trash to generate electricity at renewable energy facilities
Produce enough electricity to power approximately 90,000 homes
Recycle more than 130,000 tons of wastewater treatment residuals (sludge from flushes) into an environmentally-friendly fertilizer amendment
Safely recycle or dispose of more than 4.7 million pounds of home hazards
Collect rainwater from the roofs of Renewable Energy Facility 2 and store it in a 2-million gallon cistern, which is used as part of the energy making process

Palm Beach County Library System Receives Two Prestigious Awards
Palm Beach County, FL – The Palm Beach County Library System (PBCLS) was honored to take home two Bernays Awards at the Gold Coast PR Council’s (GCPRC) annual ceremony in October. The GCPRC, South Florida’s largest independent association of public re-
lations, communications and marketing professionals, celebrated its 19th year of the Bernays Awards. GCPRC has given out these awards since 2005 honoring excellence in local public relations campaigns, marketing programs and media coverage.
The first award category was for Best Nonprofit Project or Campaign –Large. The PBCLS won for the “Strategic Plan FY 2024-2028 & Action Plan FY 2024.”
The PBCLS’s “Strategic Plan FY 2024-2028 & Action Plan FY 2024” provides guidance for the delivery of services over the next five years. It outlines a vision of outstanding library service for residents of the Palm Beach County Library District and addresses community needs and emerging
trends. It also serves as a guide for the library’s development as a cornerstone of a well-informed and educated community. Click the link to view the document: “Strategic Plan FY 2024-2028 & Action Plan FY 2024” (https://ow.ly/ gwLC50TUA2L).
The second award was for Best Marketing Material (Video/Digital). The library won for “Embracing the New – The Complete Renovation of www.pbclibrary.org.”
The previous PBCLS website had become outdated and “glitchy,” and a streamlined website for both members and staff was needed. Rebuilding a website from the ground-up with an access of over 100 pages typically can take up to a year or longer. PBCLS’s communications department faced an
aggressive timeline. Staff had a sixmonth window for completion of a new website that displays the library as a community cornerstone. By dividing the workload, the small team of four not only built an attractive website but completed it a month ahead of schedule. The new site has bright, cohesive branding and over 21 new tools to make it into a social hub, garnering a 446% increase in library website users in January 2024.
PBCLS Director Douglas Crane stated, “Winning not one, but two awards among many talented private and government sector agencies is a tremendous honor for the library. I couldn’t be prouder of our staff’s exceptional work on both the Strategic Plan and the website.”t

More Than 3,000 Rally in Boca for Walk to End Alzheimer’s
Boca Raton, FL – On Sunday, more than 3,000 Boca Raton area residents came out to Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park for Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The event raised funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s, a progressive brain disease impacting one in eight older adults in Florida. More importantly, it brought together the community to rally around those facing all types of dementia.
“As a volunteer for the Association, my true passion is finding a world without Alzheimer’s,” said Amy Adaniel at the Walk. “I was diagnosed myself at the age of 52 with Mild Cognitive Impairment and it made my resolve only stronger. We need to see a world without Alzheimer’s.”
Deniz Kilic and her dog, Astro, walked for her father, Erik Kilic, who passed last year from dementia. She was his caregiver and now advocates for other caregivers.
“I feel many people don’t understand the complexities, and by educating, there will hopefully be more support and programs available for those who are suffering, especially the families involved,” said Kilic. “People also
need to be educated on the pressures of being a caretaker, and what that entails.”
According to a study released at the 2023 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, Palm Beach County has 51,600 residents estimated to be living with Alzheimer’s, ranking it #10 for counties in the U.S. with the largest number of people age 65 and older estimated to be living with the disease. That number is expected to continue to rise in the coming years.
“Funds from Walk to End Alzheimer’s will go to care and support to help the 840,000 unpaid family caregivers in Florida,” said Stefanie Mardar, development manager for the event. “It will drive research, and with it, new treatments and risk reduction methods.”
The Walk has raised $475,000 for care, support and research initiatives through the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter. The event was locally presented by AvMed, Cross
Country Healthcare and Vertical Bridge Charitable Network. Edward Jones was the national presenting sponsor.
Participants can still donate to Walk to End Alzheimer’s through December 31 at alz.org/BocaRatonWalk or by calling the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association mobilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk®; now the Alzheimer’s Association is continuing to lead the way with Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s.
The Alzheimer’s Association is a worldwide voluntary health organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Its mission is to lead the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

MICA AI and Baptist Health South Florida Collaborate to Revolutionize Mammogram Screening
Boca Raton, FL – MICA Artificial Intelligence and Baptist Health South Florida announced an exciting collaboration and licensing agreement to improve the way mammograms are evaluated, helping doctors detect breast cancer earlier and more accurately.
Medical Director Dr. Kathy Schilling and Director Shakira Sarquis-Kolber of The Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, part of
Baptist Health South Florida, are the leading experts in this project. The Institute provides comprehensive care addressing women’s unique medical needs throughout their lives, featuring advanced imaging technology and sameday mammography results.
This collaboration was developed with Sheba Medical Center’s ARC (Accelerate, Redesign, Collaborate) start-up ecosystem, where MICA AI was created and tested in the hospital’s Meirav Breast Cancer Center. MICA AI uses advanced technology to help radiologists analyze mammograms more effectively. One of its key innovations is a special method for Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM), which usually requires an iodine injection.
The new AI system aims to provide similar information about blood supply in the breasts without the need for injections or additional procedures. It can also enhance mammogram images that are difficult to read due to dense breast tissue. As it processes more data, it becomes better at producing clearer im-
ages, allowing doctors to identify potential problems more easily.
MICA AI plans to integrate its technology into mammogram machines from various manufacturers. This collaboration with Baptist Health South Florida aims to bring this cutting-edge innovation to the U.S. market, benefiting breast cancer patients nationwide.
“This is an exciting example of how Baptist Health Innovations is accelerating innovation through our relationship with Sheba Medical Center and ARC together with MICA AI to bring advanced solutions in cancer therapy for our patients by facilitating collaboration between our subject matter experts and advanced technology companies,” said Barry T. Katzen, M.D., Chief Medical Innovation Officer of Baptist Health South Florida.
“Artificial intelligence has great potential to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment,” said Professor Eyal Zimlichman, Director of ARC and Chief Innovation & Transformation Officer at
Sheba Medical Center. “This collaboration will help introduce this groundbreaking technology to the U.S., transforming breast cancer care.”
“MICA’s collaboration with leading hospitals like Sheba Medical Center and Baptist Health South Florida is the first step in bringing our breakthrough technology to the market. Together, we can provide decision-making tools for radiologists, enhancing their ability to save lives earlier and more accurately,” said Lior Wayn, CEO and CoFounder of MICA AI.
MICA’s innovative generative AI filter, M2C, cleans dense tissue mammograms while detecting and classifying lesions in real-time, assigning a risk score to each one. By creating an artificial CEM image without the need for contrast agents, it reduces the need for invasive tests like ultrasounds, MRIs, and biopsies. This technology empowers radiologists with faster, more accurate insights, improving patient care while reducing costs and radiation exposure.

Bank of America Drives Economic Mobility in Palm Beach County by Directing $252,000 in Grants to Nonprofits
West Palm Beach, FL – Bank of America recently awarded more than $252,000 in grants to 12 Palm Beach County nonprofit organizations helping to address barriers fundamental to economic opportunity. This second round of local grants the company awards to local nonprofits this year focuses on strengthening broader community vitality by addressing needs related to affordable housing, small business resiliency and neighborhood revitalization.
In Palm Beach County, statistics show both renters and homeowners are being impacted by rising housing costs. More than 30% of owners and 59% of renters report being cost burdened, meaning they are struggling to afford housing costs.
Access to safe, stable housing is critical for an individual’s overall well-being, including health, educational success and future employment opportunities. With the rising cost of living making access to affordable housing for many further out of reach, supporting organizations working to create healthy living environments, increase access to a mix of affordable housing options and build pathways to stable homeownership is essential.
A grant to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County will support funding to build a new home for a U.S. veteran. Additional grants to the Legal Aid Society, Housing Leadership Council of Palm Beach County and Ur-
ban League of Palm Beach County will go toward funding of programs to address homelessness and pathways to affordable home ownership.
“Partnering with these nonprofits
demonstrates how Bank of America is taking action to provide the resources and support needed to help Palm Beach County thrive,” said Fabiola Brumley, president, Bank of America Palm Beach County. “This second round of philanthropic funds build upon our longstanding efforts to help strengthen community vitality by addressing important issues like affordable housing and homelessness.”
Other organizations receiving grants include: Families First of Palm Beach County, Place of Hope, Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Community Partners of South Florida, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Prospera, Florida Atlantic University Foundation and 1909 Foundation.
These grants build on the $8 million Bank of America provided to Palm Beach County organizations since 2019 and are part of the company’s longstanding commitment to advancing economic mobility.

Downtown Delray Beach boasts more than 125 retail shops, with 96 percent of them designated small, independent businesses.
Small Business Saturday, which was founded by American Express in 2010 and official cosponsored by the Small Business Administration (SBA) since 2021, is a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities by shopping small. Small Business Saturday is held annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
While Downtown Delray Beach continues to welcome new restaurants and retailers, Delray Beach native and Executive Director of the Delray DDA, Laura Simon, has a special appreciation for the mom and pop, legacy businesses that have stood the test of time. “Our long-established small businesses truly embody the spirit of our downtown,” she shared. “As the city grows and attracts thousands of new visitors each year, these businesses remind us of our roots and the soul of Downtown Delray Beach.”
