Last week, the Palm Beach Police & Fire Foundation hosted its 19th annual Police & Fire Rescue Ball. The black-tie event — co-chaired by Jeff and Nicola Marcus and John and Amy Phelan — raised a record-breaking $4.4 million. All proceeds will benefit the Palm Beach Police and Fire Rescue Departments.
The evening started with cocktails by the pool before a seated dinner in the Grand Ballroom. During dinner, the event chairs presented Steve and Andrea Wynn with the 2025 Palm Tree Award. Meanwhile, Detective Stephen Buscemi and Lt. Walter Arcila were named the 2024 Officer of the Year and Firefighter of the Year, respectively.
Among the 700 guests in attendance were Mayor Danielle Moore, Ric Bradshaw, Bridget and Tim Moran, Rebecca Godwin, Jana and John Scarpa, Lynne Wheat, Thomas Peterffy, Allison and Warren Kanders, Monika and John Preston, Nick Caristo, David Mack, Kerry Vickar, Lisa and James Cohen, Mark and Janet Levy, Walter Arcila, Jay and Gretchen Jordan, Michael and Annie Falk, Michael and Linda Belisle, Sean Baker, Leo and Kathryn Vecellio, Amy and Brett Baier, Anthony and Lynda Lomangino, Janet Gretzky, Bridget Koch, Ali and Lew Sanders, Eileen Burns, Jim and Gaye Engel, Tom and Devon Roush, Anthony DeJesse, and Herb and Barbara Shear.
