Annual fundraiser combines Cuban-inspired cuisine, music and entertainment benefiting the Center’s mission of strengthening through mental health services
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County will bring the vibrant spirit of Old Havana to The Beach Club Palm Beach this December as supporters gather for the return of Havana Nights, an evening celebrating culture, community and philanthropy while raising vital funds for one of Palm Beach County’s longest-serving behavioral health organizations.
The annual event continues the tradition established last year while launching the Center’s 2026-27 fundraising season on Wednesday, December 9th, 2026 with co-chairs Jean and Martin Shafiroff and Beth and Dr. Robert Fishel.
Guests will enjoy an immersive experience, inspired by 1950’s Havana nightclubs, featuring authentic cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, live Latin music, dancing and specialty experiences that capture the color, energy and elegance of the era. Throughout the evening, attendees will have opportunities to support the Center’s work through special fundraising activities while enjoying an atmosphere designed to transport guests to the heart of Cuba.
Event sponsors include Ron and Carrie Kaminski (the Mental Health Emissary sponsor) and Cindy Karen (Mental Health Hero Sponsor).
Beyond the celebration, the evening supports an essential mission. Since 1961, the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County has provided behavioral health services, counseling, parenting education, substance misuse recovery programs and family support services to thousands of children, adults and families throughout the region. Today, the organization operates eight core programs and has served more than one million clients, ensuring that quality mental health care remains accessible regardless of financial circumstances.
Havana Nights also marks the beginning of the Center’s signature fundraising season, culminating with the Old Bags Luncheon®, one of Palm Beach’s premier philanthropic events which will take place on Wednesday, February 17th, 2027, and is recognized as being among the area’s leading social and charitable gatherings.
The Center invites community leaders, philanthropists, business executives and supporters to join an evening where every ticket helps strengthen individuals, families and children across Palm Beach County while celebrating the warmth, music and hospitality that have made Havana Nights one of the season’s most anticipated charitable gatherings.
