Palm Beach Society: First comes sipping and shopping, then comes walking and walking.
The friends and benefactors of the Children’s Foundation of Palm Beach County gathered at the Royal Poinciana Plaza to do things they would rue when that alarm jangled early next morning.

The Sip 'n Shop took place Dec. 8 and included a rosé bar, hors d'oeuvres, music, a silent auction, and the chance for some wine-fueled spending.
That's our favorite kind.
Sharyn Frankel, Barbara Stoller Wittenstein, Linda Schaps and Beth Schlager were chairwomen of the event, which served as a kickoff for the organization’s Walk the Walk fundraiser.
Walk the Walk took place the following morning in downtown West Palm Beach as part of the Garden of Life Palm Beaches Marathon weekend.
“We are delighted to hold the walk again this year to raise money for Palm Beach County’s children,” said Frankel. “There are so many underserved kids in the area that need our help.”
Committee members included Hilary Cooper, Carol Goldenberg, Susie Levitt and Nora Kandel.
Proceeds from the walk, more than $270,000, will assist the Children's Foundation of Palm Beach County in its mission to support specific programs at more than 30 local organizations that serve at-risk children and families in need.
