The Boley Angels were founded by long-time Board Member and one of Boley Centers' founders, Mary Koenig, in 1984 to promote community awareness and support of Boley's rehabilitation programs. Over the years, the Angels have been involved in various fundraising events for Boley, including a fashion show luncheon, an annual membership tea and an annual Christmas brunch. The tea has evolved into the Boley Angels' Membership Wine & Cheese which typically takes place in the spring and the Boley Angels' Gala Christmas Brunch is held early in the month of December at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. The money raised by the Angels is used
for
things such as unmet medical and dental needs and furniture for the
agency's
residential programs.
