NAT KING COLE GENERATION HOPE LIP SYNC BATTLE
WHAT: The sixth-annual Nat King Cole Generation Hope Lip Sync Battle rocked the stage at Crazy Uncle Mike’s with performances from some of Boca’s most beloved locals. Attendees were treated to lip-synced renditions of pop classics from Madonna, Spice Girls and more, with performers showing off their best dance moves. This year’s Lip Sync Winner and top fundraiser was the YMCA’s Jason Hagensick, who performed “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice. More than $18,500 was raised from the event, all of which will help provide music education to children “with the greatest need and fewest resources.” The Lip Sync Battle was supported by Onstage Studios, Boca Raton Championship Wrestling, Laura Messler, Crazy Uncle Mike’s, Sunny 107.9, Boca magazine, the Boca Raton Tribune and Fire & Ice Productions.

BOCA’S BALLROOM BATTLE
WHAT: Boca’s favorite gala event returned for its 15th year with all the expected glitz, glamour and more. Returning live for the first time since 2019, local celebrities paired up with professional dancers from Boca’s Fred Astaire Dance Studios for an unforgettable night of sensational moves to benefit the George Snow Scholarship Fund. This year’s dancers raised more than $900,000, all of which went toward keeping 526 local students enrolled in colleges, universities and graduate programs. Winners of the 2022 Mirror Ball Trophy were Howard Kanner of the Law Offices of Kanner & Pintaluga, and Boca Raton Center for Arts & Innovation President Andrea Virgin, who together raised more than $200,000. “It was an incredible show, it was a great crowd, and we are thrilled at the generosity of our sponsors, donors and community partners,” said George Snow Scholarship Fund President Tim Snow. “Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our Snow Scholars.”
