Palm Beach, FL – November 23, 2012 – The Paradise Fund kicked off the 2012/2013 Palm Beach social season with the fifth annual Paradise Grand Casino, which took place on Friday, November 23rd at the Historic Flagler Museum in Palm Beach. Five hundred of New York and Palm Beach’s young, philanthropic trendsetters gathered at this invitation-only event sponsored by Lamborghini and Sabadell Bank & Trust Palm Beach.

Guests sampled delectable bites from Buccan’s James Beard nominated chef, Clay Conley, and sipped signature cocktails from famed New York speak-easy, Death & Co’s, curated bar. Palm Beach and New York movers and shakers gambled the night away, mingled and danced to the sounds of Manhattan-based, award-winning crooner Doug Acosta and his swing orchestra.

Proceeds raised at the 2012 Paradise Grand Casino will directly benefit The Haiti Empowerment Mission and St. Jude’s Medical Research Hospital; two very important children’s charities supported by The Paradise Fund’s own Children’s Relief Fund. The Fifth Annual Paradise Grand Casino marked the fourth event for The Paradise Fund this year, others include The Paradise Fund Miami launch in May 2012, TPF’s New York launch in October 2012 and a fourth launch planned in Los Angeles later this year. The Paradise Fund recently sponsored 48 Haitian students for the 2012-2013 School Year for Haiti Empowerment Mission, founded by Michael Capponi.
