22 Jan Delray Beach Home Tour to Benefit Achievement Centers for Children & Families
Several homeowners in Delray Beach’s beautiful intracoastal neighborhood will be opening their doors to visitors during the 21st Annual Delray Beach Home Tour benefiting Achievement Centers for Children & Families (ACCF) on Tuesday, March 12th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Delray Beach Home Tour is a unique opportunity to see the elegant interiors of several waterfront homes in the Delray community.
“Each year we choose a distinct Delray Beach neighborhood allowing homeowners to showcase different interior designs and architectural styles,” said cochair Noreen Payne. “The Home Tour will highlight a variety of homes that range from exquisite intracoastal homes and flourishing tropical gardens providing home decorating enthusiasts with a glimpse into the realm of distinctive Delray living.”
During the tour, which attracts visitors from throughout South Florida, guests can enjoy a leisurely day exploring unique residences, a gourmet catered luncheon, and trolley service between homes.
All Home Tour ticket sales and sponsorships benefit ACCF, which supports children and families throughout Delray Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods. At ACCF, children are involved in Early Learning (Toddler and Preschool), Out-of-School (After School and Summer Camp), and Teen Mentoring programs that prepare them for academic and social success and empower them to discover their talents. ACCF families are served through programs like Family Strengthening and Economic Stabilization, which benefit the community by helping families in crisis; enabling them to serve as the foundation of their child’s growth.
The Home Tour was first conceived by long-time ACCF board members and supporters Anne Bright and Barbara Murphy. Planning for the home tour, which draws more than 600 visitors annually, involves more than 100 dedicated volunteers.
The 2024 Home Tour chairs are Deborah Dowd, Noreen Payne and Kari Shipley.
“We are grateful for the support of all our hardworking volunteers, the homeowners who are graciously allowing visitors into their homes, and, of course, our dedicated sponsors,” said Kari Shipley.“Ongoing support from our community has allowed us to continuously serve our children & families, at a time when our assistance is crucial,” said ACCF Event Manager Julia Corliss. “We look forward to supporting under-resourced families through this year’s Home Tour, as the community’s needs continue to rise. It is our mission and privilege to make a significant impact in the lives of the children and families we serve, and we need your help in bringing success to this remarkable fundraising event for 2024.”
