My husband and I support the Annual Fund because we have always been involved in the arts and we feel that the Council supports causes which bring the arts to numerous people who might otherwise not have contact with such activities. – Fred and Jean Sharf, Philanthropists

The creativity of artists brings vitality to our community and our lives. We are happy to support the Cultural Council and their work on behalf of artists, making their work more broadly available to the residents of Palm Beach County. – William and Luann Parmelee
