A Touch of Ziegfeld Performed by the Broadway Ziegfeld Entertainers, Inc. on Saturday, March 24 to benefit the Eric Dolch Children’s Encephalitis Foundation
We wanted to let everyone know a fundraiser for the Eric Dolch Children’s Encephalitis Foundation will be held Saturday, March 24 at Quail Ridge Country Club in Boynton Beach.
It will include a 60-minute cabaret show called A Touch of Ziegfeld, which is performed by the Broadway Ziegfeld Entertainers, a non-profit organization of South Florida show business veterans who perform Las Vegas-style shows for charity. The night begins with a heavy appetizer/cocktail hour at 6 p.m. – with a raffling-off of a half-dozen wonderful merchandise baskets such as week-end and three-day stays at golf resorts, Jack Nicklaus-signed golf memorabilia and plenty of other goodies.
The showgirls will perform at 7:30 and visit with the guests during a coffee/dessert nightcap at 8:30 when we announce the raffle winners.
Anyone interested in attending, cost is $70 for the dinner, show and cocktails. You need to make a reservation by calling the club at (561) 737-3337. As a non-member, you have to pay by check or cash for the tickets because the club doesn’t take credit cards. A jacket is preferred for men. All of the proceeds from the raffle go to the Eric Dolch Children’s Encephalitis Foundation.
Quail Ridge is situated on Golf Road, about 1 mile south of Woolbright and just east of Congress.
"We are committed to the aggressive pursuit of finding a cure for encephalitis and in the meantime to improve the proper diagnosing, treatment and care of children and adults with encephalitis and other epilepsy-related illnesses. No child or family should have to go through what Eric has endured."

Jack Nicklaus's generosity has become the new measure of his greatness
By Michael Bamberger, Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Jack Nicklaus came into the press room here at the Honda on Tuesday, as he does every year. He does it at the Memorial. He does it at the Masters. For decades he did it at every event he played. These sessions, they're always the same, and they're never the same.
A lot of players come to Jack looking for playing advice. They'd do well to ask him about how to handle this part, too. What Jack does is answer every question posed to him thoroughly, openly and originally. His intelligence and his playfulness have always come through. You probably know that. What you might not know about is his warmth.

Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Care Centers In Palm Beach County
When Eric Dolch almost died from encephalitis in 2005, his parents airlifted the then-14-year-old West Palm Beach resident to Miami Children’s Hospital (MCH), where he spent more than a year recovering from the near-fatal illness in the hospital’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Now 19, Eric is helping other children fight back from life-threatening illnesses. Monday, the Eric Dolch Children’s Encephalitis Foundation (EDCEF) made a $5,000 donation to the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation. The money is designated to be used for the new Nicklaus Care Centers that MCH is bringing to Palm Beach County to improve the area’s acute pediatric health care.
