Fuller Center will hold its 21st annual Wee Dream Ball: Club 55 on Nov. 13 at Boca West Country Club. The supper club-style gala is a fundraiser for the nonprofit’s work with children and families across South Florida, and this year marks the organization’s 55th anniversary.
The evening will honor Dr. Patricia Anastasio and Thomas Mersch, Esq., with the 2026 Bernie Award. Fuller Center CEO Eric Roby credited Anastasio with medical guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic and praised Mersch for his leadership and advocacy. Gail Wasserman is serving as presenting sponsor, and Rachel and Richard Ostrovsky are Club 55 sponsors.
Guests can bid on live auction items, including a Formula 1 travel package, an Andrea Bocelli concert package and a Napa Wine Experience, all for 2027.
According to the organization, Fuller Center serves more than 1,000 children each year, from infants through teens, and supports more than 700 families in Palm Beach and Broward counties. Its programs include early education, private elementary school, after-school programs, teen leadership and family support. Tickets and sponsorships are available through Chief Development Officer Brian Jones.
