The Historical Society of Palm Beach County (@pbchistory) proudly announces a $100,000 gift from Top of Mind Palm Beach (@topofmindpb), a collective giving organization dedicated to enhancing our community.

This incredible support will advance our civic and history education initiatives, particularly our children’s programming, ensuring future generations remain inspired by Palm Beach County’s rich history.

The generous funding also sponsors our grand exhibition, Wish You Were Here: Tourism in The Palm Beaches, open through May 2025 at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum.

Thank you to the visionary leaders at Top of Mind Palm Beach, including founder Jeff Sophir (@jimthrelkelbotanicals) and Board of Directors Meg Braff (@megbraffdesigns), Dustin Mizell, John Rogers, and Scott Snyder (@scottsnyderinc), for making this possible. Special thanks to our Chief Development Officer, Taylor Materio, for securing this impactful gift.
