Let's Make A Difference Together

Living in our beautiful Boca Royale Community it's easy to overlook the fact that many within the greater Englewood/Charlotte County area are in need. The Boca Cares organization was formed specifically to provide aid to local charities whose mission it is to empower and improve the lives of those less fortunate.  

Thanks to the generous support from members of our community along with Corporate Sponsors, Boca Cares 2023 distributed $35,000 to 7 local charities that focus on providing food to homeless veterans, children, families and seniors. 

The Boca Cares Board continues to meet with Charities all year to help with their essential services to assist those in need.
