Fourth Annual ACES Turkey Trot Raises $65,000
On Thanksgiving Day, more than 300 runners, walkers, and 4-legged friends raised $65,000 to support educational scholarships for Admirals Cove employees and their children.
The 4th Annual Turkey Trot, aka Wobble Before You Gobble, featured a 5K and 1K run, walk, and stroll on the grounds of the idyllic Admirals Cove community in Jupiter. Generous corporate sponsors included The Club at Admirals Cove, Valley Bank, Horizon Care Services, UPLIN Health, HealthePets Market, and Admirals Cove MPOA.
Admirals Cove Employee Scholarship (ACES) fund, managed by the George Snow Foundation, is fully funded by the philanthropic Admirals Cove members. Additionally, there are three endowed scholarships: Jill and Eric Becker Family Scholarship, Jill and Heinz Riehl Scholarship, and Charles and Joyce Ezrine Scholarship.
In its eight-year existence, ACES has raised $790,000 and granted 145 scholarships. This scholarship fund is a committee under the umbrella of the Admirals Cove Foundation, the member-supported philanthropy of the community which bears its name. ACF was recently named the Outstanding Foundation for 2024 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Palm Beach County Chapter during national Philanthropy Day. Since 2016, the Admirals Cove Foundation has distributed more than $17.5 million to local nonprofits.
