The BOLD Ladies in Business Flagler County Chapter brought the community together for a vibrant fundraising event hosted at Grand Pointe Apartments, selecting the Garden Club at Palm Coast as the beneficiary of this month’s event.

With over 30 local vendors, three food trucks, and a strong turnout of supportive community members, the event created an atmosphere centered on connection, collaboration, and giving back.

This wasn’t just a market—it was a mission.

Through the combined efforts of vendors, attendees, and organizers, the event successfully raised $1,100, including $1,000 contributed by the BOLD Ladies in Business group and additional funds generated through raffle tickets and giveaways.

The event was led by Ana Reyes-Ouzts, Founder and Executive Director of BOLD Ladies in Business, Flagler Chapter, and TLC Lifestyle Coach, whose vision continues to bring women in business together while giving back to the community.

While the BOLD Ladies in Business organized and hosted the event, all proceeds directly benefit the Garden Club at Palm Coast and its ongoing efforts to provide scholarships for local students.

Garden Club member Nancy Iandoli welcomed guests and handed out raffle tickets, helping set the tone for a warm and engaging experience from the moment attendees arrived.

Throughout the event, additional Garden Club members were actively involved—selling plants, connecting with attendees, and supporting the overall success of the fundraiser.

It was a true team effort, and for many involved, a meaningful moment that reflected the power of community working together toward a shared goal.

Why It Matters

Events like this do more than raise funds they create opportunities.

By supporting scholarships through the Garden Club at Palm Coast, this fundraiser helps open doors for students working toward their future. At the same time, it provides a platform for local businesses to grow, connect, and be seen.

It’s a reminder that strong communities are built through collaboration, generosity, and showing up for one another.
