Sole Mates Luncheon
Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Boca West Country Club
20583 Boca West Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33434
The Sole Mates Luncheon supports our mission to provide students with the critical essentials they need to achieve academic and personal success. Proceeds from the event directly fund urgent, everyday needs that are often overlooked but can make a life-changing difference in the lives of the youth we serve. These essentials include groceries, medical care such as dental work and vision services, reliable transportation through gas cards and rideshare credits, personal hygiene products, and access to enriching extracurricular activities.
Guests will enjoy a delicious lunch, exciting raffles, and an inspiring afternoon celebrating the impact of BFF’s programs while helping ensure students have the resources they need to thrive.
