A Night of Glamour and Giving: Cocktails à la Palm Royale by Anne Fitzpatrick



Under the warm glow of a perfect Palm Beach evening, Cocktails à la Palm Royale Season 2 unfolded in spectacular fashion at the stunning La Follia estate on March 2. This unforgettable soirée brought together elegance, philanthropy, and a touch of 1970s Palm Beach flair—all in support of a meaningful cause.

Hosted at Ken Griffin’s private residence, the night was not just a celebration but a powerful reminder of the impact a dedicated community can have.
