2024 Volunteer Initiative

Understanding that volunteers are at the heart of charities, the Dennis M. and Lois A. Doyle Family Foundation launched an initiative back in late 2020 to empower those who donate their talents, time and resources to support the mission of Palm Beach County non-profit organizations.

The Family Foundation made a generous $20,000 donation leading up to the 2024 event, in partnership with the Great Charity Challenge sponsored by Fidelity Investments® (GCC), which in turn matched Doyle's contribution resulting in a $40,000 initiative.

Ten lucky organizations who are making a difference in our community received a $4,000 grant.

A huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers who took the time to share how they are involved in the community, and why they are passionate about their chosen organizations!
