West Boca Rocks the JDRF Walk

West Boca residents made a big splash this morning at this year’s Boca Raton Juvenile Diabetes walk in and near Mizner Park. Above you can see the West Boca High Vanguard band playing for people as they walk by.
They seemed to be having fun:

There were a few teams from West Boca that appeared prominently. Nicole Cohen from Kiki’s Krew sang the National Anthem:

Kiki’s Krew kids also had fun dancing on the stage to Pharrell Williams’ Happy.

We also saw members of the West Boca Key Club and Team Harrison. West Boca News walked with the Yates & Schiller team and many neighbors.



This was a big event. Shooting from the hip we’d estimate well over one thousand people were there. Per the JDRF website the event raised $300,000.

The event started early with people gathering before 7:30 am. It filled up by 8:30 and the walk began. It was a sunny morning and the early start helped attendees miss the heat of midday. Walkers went about two miles total, south through Mizner Park, then east several blocks, up, back west and north back to the amphitheater.
