The Foundation honored Nathaniel P. Reed for his lifelong passion for and dedication to saving the Everglades. The guests enjoyed Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville beer and tequila for poolside cocktails, a delicious dinner in the ballroom at Mar-A-Lago and an exciting live auction featuring packages ranging from an African Safari adventure to private tennis lessons with Chris Evert and Nick Bollettieri.
