How about a trip to the Indy 500?

The Boca Grande Child Care Center provides a service that many families who work and live on the island would be lost without. All children from the ages of 1 to 4 are welcome, and the excellent care that is provided there can be attested to by many parents.

The center operates on private donations, and their annual fundraiser this year, titled “Kids in Kandyland,” is just around the corner on Monday, March 18. It will be held at the Boca Grande Club at 6 p.m. and will begin with cocktails and silent auction items, followed by dinner and a live auction.

The cost is $150 per person.
