Hanley Foundation hosted the 2nd Annual Brice Makris Brunch on Sunday, December 11 at Boca West Country Club to a sold out crowd of more than 250 guests. Foundation Board Member John Makris and his wife Michelle chaired the event that honored their son, Brice, who tragically passed away two years ago at age 23 from a Fentanyl overdose. The funds raised will benefit Hanley Foundation’s Brice Makris Endowment Fund for lifesaving treatment scholarships and addiction prevention programs.
“What a powerful and moving event,” said Jan Cairnes, CEO of Hanley Foundation. “The proceeds from this brunch will make a real difference in the lives of people suffering from substance use disorders. We could not be more grateful to all who attended and supported this cause.”
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of the inaugural ‘Brice Makris Community Spirit Award,’ given to Max Weinberg, longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen and bandleader for Conan O’Brien. Weinberg generously donated four band seats to a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert during the live auction.
Dave Aronberg, U.S. State Attorney for Palm Beach County, and Louie Bossi, Executive Chef/Partner of Louie Bossi’s Ristorante and Founder of Delray’s ‘Taste of Recovery’ event, served as honorary chairs. Other notable guests included Tina Polsky, Andrea Levine O’Rourke, Mark Larkin, Arlene Herson, Sharon DiPietro and Jazz Jennings.
“The Brice Makris Endowment Fund was born from Brice’s desire to be healthy, to become free of an insidious disease, and to help others gain their lives back,” said John Makris. “Now, it’s up to us to ensure his legacy of helping others will come to fruition.”
Boynton Beach to Flush Water Lines with Chlorine
The City of Boynton Beach will temporarily modify the disinfection process utilized to treat its drinking water from Thursday, January 5 through Wednesday, January 25, 2023. Customers may notice a slight chlorine taste, or odor, in their tap water.
T hese temp o r a r y c o n d it i o n s w i l l n o t c a u s e a d v e r s e h e a l t h e f f e c t s. Those sensitive to the taste, or odor, of chlorine, can place an open container of drinking water in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate. Users of home dialysis machines, owners of tropical fish and managers of stores, and restaurants with fish and shellfish holding tanks are advised to seek professional advice as the method for removing chlorine residuals differs from removing chloramine residuals from tap water. This is a preventative maintenance process in order to maint a i n t h e C i t y ’s high standard of clean water distribution. During this period, the City’s drinking water distribution system will continue to meet all Federal and State water quality standards.
