Yesterday, we celebrated Chamber Day by opening our doors to members and nonmembers for a closer look at the Boca Regional Chamber!

Guests met our team, explored the office, and learned about the programs, resources, and relationships that make Chamber membership valuable. Fun Fact: The Chamber was founded in 1952!

A special thank you to our Ambassadors for welcoming guests, leading tours, and helping our team share what the Chamber does for our business community.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and spent Chamber Day with us!

An extraordinary setting. Exceptional company. An evening that reflected the community we are proud to be part of.

The Boca Regional Chamber’s 2026 Annual Gala, presented by Instrumentum, brought “A Celebration of Legacy and Evolution of Community” to life at The Boca Raton’s newly reimagined Mizner Center.

As the first event in this beautiful space, the evening welcomed longtime friends, new members, and the leaders whose dedication continues to shape our community. From the décor and dining to the conversations and atmosphere, it was a pleasure to share the night with everyone who joined us.

We had the privilege of presenting The Boca Raton with the 2026 M.J. “Mike” Arts Award of Excellence, recognizing its centennial and the lasting role it has played in our community.

Thank you to Presenting Sponsor Instrumentum, all of our sponsors and partners, The Boca Raton, and our members and guests. Your support, thoughtful contributions, and presence made this year’s Gala an evening we will remember with pride and appreciation.

The Boca Raton

A little mindfulness goes a long way! 🔔

The Golden Bell Education Foundation was proud to participate in Lion Zen Day 2026 at Olympic Heights Community High School!

Hosted by the Olympic Heights PTO as part of its Student Morale Initiative, this special event gave students an opportunity to step away from their busy schedules and focus on mental health, wellness, creativity, and self-care.

From therapy dogs and creative activities to wellness resources and community support, it was a wonderful afternoon dedicated to student well-being!

Thank you to the Olympic Heights PTO for bringing together so many community partners to support our students. We're grateful to have been part of a day that reminds students just how much their community cares!

What a great morning at our October Membership Breakfast!

A special thank you to our featured speakers, Lincoln S. Mendez, North Region Executive at Baptist Health and Chief Executive Officer of Boca Raton Regional Hospital, and Robert H. Press, M.D., Clinical Director of Proton Therapy at the Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute, for sharing their valuable insights into healthcare and innovation in our region.

We also want to extend our appreciation to all healthcare professionals for their hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to caring for our community every day.

Thank you to Baptist Health for sponsoring this month's breakfast!

Congratulations to our lucky door prize winner, who walked away with an exciting ESPN Boca Raton Bowl prize! 🏈

And we can't forget Mayor Andy Thomson, who took control of the lights and turned the room pink to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Thanks, Andy!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another wonderful morning of networking, conversation, and community engagement!
