With overwhelming philanthropic support from Admirals Cove Club members, the 2017/2018 ACF Season of Giving has contributed over $1.2 million dollars through member directed gifts and grants. “It is exciting to see a community come together and take an active part in fulfilling the needs of our Palm Beach County neighbors,” said Rebecca Divine executive director of the Admirals Cove Foundation. “Residents not only give financially but they also take great pride in volunteering their time and experience to support the missions of local nonprofits.
