Grassy Waters Gala and Golf Classic: A Night and Day to Remember
Posted by Sprouts Staff
On Friday October 8th and Saturday October 9th, Grassy Waters Preserve held their 12th Annual Gala and Golf Classic event featuring the theme of Hidden Treasures. Hidden Treasures truly was an appropriate title because the preserve offers so many natural treasures unique to South Florida. The affair had a fantastic turn out with many supporters and vendors include some of our own Sprouts team on Friday night: Sharon, Glenn, Nikki, Sean, Laura, Mike, Diane, and Theresa.

The occasion was an affair to remember with incredible food, dancing, auctions, and pirates! Friday night was an evening of fun and relaxation with friends and business associates. The Gala also included a silent auction and a live auction as well. The items auctioned off were generous donations from local businesses and supporters. During the auction there were tables where some local businesses sold their wares in support of Grassy Waters Preserve; among them was Sprouts. Sprouts had a beautiful table where attendees could purchase plantable seed paper cards in support of Grassy Waters Preserve with a portion of the proceeds being donated back to the preserve.

Saturday morning was friendly competition spread across two golf courses found in Ibis Golf and Country Club. Participates were divided up into foursomes to play the course for awards for those coming in first, second, and third. Among them were Sharon and her team of Bryan Beasley, Michael Mulach, and Richard Alker. To their surprise, they managed to pull off a first place victory on the Tradition Golf Course.
This year’s Gala and Golf Classic featured a new aspect to the event, the First Annual Grassy Waters Preserve Environmental Pathfinder Award. The winner of this newly created award went to Palm Beach Commissioner Jeff Koons. The award was presented to him for his service and dedication to making the community aware of the importance of nature and taking care of our environment. Commissioner Koons has been an instrumental force in aiding Grassy Waters Preserve in obtaining many of the amenities found there today.
