Join us for the ministry’s ANNUAL CHRISTMAS GALA - Christ’s Light: Felon to Freedom, happening this year in a beautiful Christmas setting at Benvenuto Restaurant.
KELLY ANN WOMEN’S MINISTRY IS HOSTING A CHRISTMAS GALA FOR GALS & GUYS (AGES 16+) ON SATURDAY-DECEMBER 2, 2023: 11AM - 2PM AT BENVENUTO IN BOYNTON BEACH, FL. THE DRESS CODE IS FESTIVE.
We are super excited to feature Mark Whitacre as our Gala guest speaker. Our speaker is one that is sure to touch your hearts with what God has done in his life and his wife and family too. Get ready to purchase your tickets and start telling others to do the same. You don’t want to miss this special gala!
Mark Whitacre is an Ivy League PhD and is considered by the FBI to be the highest-ranked executive of any Fortune 500 company in U.S. history to become a whistleblower, and he was responsible for uncovering the ADM price-fixing scandal in the early 1990s. Mark’s wife, Ginger, was actually the one who forced him to expose the ADM case to the FBI. Mark has been actively engaged in the Faith at Work movement the past two decades and he is currently the Vice President of Culture & Care at Coca-Cola Consolidated. Mark not only conducted undercover work for the FBI but he was the inspiration for the 2009 major motion picture, “The Informant",” which stars Matt Damon as Mark.
Mark will share his amazing testimony of how the Lord worked in his life while in prison, plus both he and his wife will offer a Q&A session. As a guest, you’ll have the opportunity to hear how God worked His incredible plans in their lives.
Guests will be able to savor the fresh and tasty food while enjoying the wonderful white-glove service that Benvenuto is so well known for. Lunch includes a delectable appetizer, choice of two scrumptious entrées, a choice of two yummy desserts, and non-alcoholic beverages. Guests will also delight in fellowship and Christmas songs and carols led by a professional singer and a gifted pianist. Also, there is sure to be raffle prize excitement during our special time together!

This year is the first time that the ministry will announce its plans for “Kelly Ann Designs” featuring handmade “Joy Jewelry” and “Journey with Jesus” teaching frames. These gorgeous NEW items were designed and handmade by Kelly Ann herself. They were inspired by the Lord to offer our guests these new designs as a fundraiser to help to support the ministry. We will also be selling our classy custom-designed ministry t-shirts. (Raffle tickets and all product sales can be purchased with cash, check, or credit card). Best of all, it will be a delightful day of fellowship and glorifying God as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
One more thing: You can partner with this ministry to help our homeless community in Palm Beach County. This year Kelly Ann Women’s Ministry has again partnered with SockRelief.com to collect socks (only socks, nothing else) to donate to the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County. You can join us by bringing a pair or package of new socks (any size/color/style) to the Christmas Gala. We are only collecting socks the day of the event. We will have a collection box to place your socks. Additionally, a portion of our ticket sales will also be donated along with the socks to the Homeless Coalition. We thank you, in advance, for partnering with us for this precious way of showing the LOVE of JESUS during our Sharing in CHRISTmas program.
