Havana Nights, the Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation’s first major event in West Palm Beach is only 4 weeks away!  But we need your help.  During 2014, the foundation gave away almost a half a million dollars in financial assistance to individuals undergoing treatment for cancer by funding nonmedical assistance to individuals in our community who needed financial support. This included rent, mortgage, utilities and car payments.  The Foundation provides financial assistance to any qualified  adult patient undergoing cancer treatment in the state of Florida.
 
Last year, our region  and our patients were the recipients  of over 32,000 dollars in financial assistance.
 
This year, more than ever, the foundation is depending on the success of its special events and fundraising initiatives to ensure its ability to continue to meet the increasing needs of those battling cancer.   Please support the Foundation by:

The Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce, Women in Business Council present their quarterly luncheon on Thursday, March 26th at the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott. We are thrilled to have guest speaker, Sheila G. Mains, Founder of Brownie Brittle?

About Sheila G. Mains & Brownie Brittle
It all started in 1992 when Sheila G. Mains was laid off from her CFO position at an industrial advertising agency. Rather than jump back into the world of accounting, she decided to follow her passion ?? baking. She perfected her grandmother?s brownie recipe in her home oven, then leased a small commercial kitchen and began selling platters of brownies and gift baskets to local corporations and retail stores.
 
 Two years later, business was booming. Then came the call of a lifetime. An executive chef at a major Florida theme park dialed 1-800-Brownie and ordered 37,000 of Sheila G?s brownies. Overnight, Sheila went from delivering platters to shipping pallets of her rich, fudgy brownies.
 
Since then, Sheila G?s signature brownies have been featured at Disney World?s theme park, bakeries and catered events. Her Cookie Dough Brownie became the best-selling dessert at MGM Studios a year later. She also created Dalmatian brownies, in honor of Disney?s 1996 release of 101 Dalmatians, as well as an exclusive Blondie Brownie for Epcot Center.
 
Once the brownie business was cooking, Sheila turned her attention to creating her dream snack ?? the crunchy corner pieces that every brownie lover loves. It took almost a decade to create Brownie Brittle, but her persistence paid off. Sales of Sheila G?s Original Brownie Brittle are nothing short of meteoric. From 200,000 bags in 2011 to 18 million bags in 2014, these thin pieces of brownie batter with the satisfying crunch took the snack food industry by surprise.
 
And with only 120 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving, this all-natural snack simply flies off the shelves. Brownie Brittle is available in Chocolate Chip, Salted Caramel, Toffee Crunch and Mint Chocolate Chip, and is sold online (BrownieBrittle.com) and at major retailers throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, Korea and the Caribbean.

hYpe, the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce's committee of young professionals will host their quarterly luncheon on Friday, March 27th at Seasons 52 featuring Chad Jenkins, a young entrepreneur, former Army quarterback, decorated military veteran and former FBI agent. 

*Seating is limited. We strongly encourage guests to register in advance. 

About Chad Jenkins

Chad Jenkins founded Jenkins Group to respond to the diverse security needs of the public and private sector. His service to his nation started at 17 years of age and has spanned across three decades. Chad's passion for protecting his country and its citizens is paramount.

After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point and leading the Black Knights as Army’s quarterback, Chad was commissioned as an Infantry officer in the United States Army. Upon successful completion of Ranger School, Airborne School, and Air Assault School, Chad deployed with the 10th Mountain Division to Iraq for one year.

Following his return to U.S. soil, Chad joined the 75th Ranger Regiment, the most dedicated and lethal fighting force the U.S. Army has to offer. Chad led Rangers during three more deployments to Iraq as a Platoon Leader and Ground Force Commander. In total, Chad deployed four times and was awarded three Bronze Star Medals for his dedication and service to his country.

When he departed the military, Chad was recruited to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with his counterterrorism expertise. He was the class academic valedictorian at the FBI Academy. After Quantico, Chad was assigned to the South Florida Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) as a Special Agent. His impact on several high-profile cases led to the successful disruption of potential acts of terrorism.

Chad is co-subject of the book, ‘All American: Two Young Men, The 2001 Army-Navy Game And The War They Fought In Iraq’ by New York Times bestselling Author Steve Eubanks, which released in the Fall of 2013. With the opportunity to launch his own organization, Chad sought God’s will to pursue this next chapter of his life. He continues to reside in Florida.
