The Friends of Jack & Jill Center will host the 18th Annual Pediatrix Flip Flops on the Docks from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 18 at the Lauderdale Yacht Club. The community is invited to attend the signature event, featuring relaxed tropical beach décor, drinks, food and live music on the docks overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Guests can also bid on luxurious items in live and virtual silent auctions.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Jack & Jill Center’s mission to strengthen children and families through innovative education, supportive programming, and community engagement. Since its establishment in 1999, The Friends of Jack & Jill Center has raised over $5.25 million and volunteered countless hours to improve the lives of the center’s children and families.

Jack & Jill Center supports children of high-need working families through quality early childhood education, elementary education and family strengthening programs to ensure every child and family has the tools they need to be successful. The organization has served 26,000 children and families in South Florida since 1942.

Event sponsorships ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 are available at www.flipflopsonthedocks.com. Naming opportunities are still available for $5,000 per naming right, and individual tickets for $250.
