History
The Town of Palm Beach United Way's Red Feather Society was founded in 1987 by Helen Messic, who also served as its first chair. Mrs. Messic's goal was to devise a long-term strategy for connecting with donors. Thus, she developed a leadership society to recognize high-level giving and make it more personal.
Red Feather Society members share a spirit of caring, a passion for giving generously, and a desire to make a real difference in the lives of people in need in Palm Beach County. Each year the Red Feather Society grows with an understanding that a leadership gift to the Town of Palm Beach United Way is an investment resulting in measurable impact on key community issues.
Since its inception, the Society has raised more than $14 million for the needs in Palm Beach County.
