Tickets are now on sale for 2nd anual Heart Gallery Broward County and Truluck’s Seafood, Steak and Crab House second annual Tru-Hearts Luncheon on Tuesday, February 12, at noon, at Truluck’s restaurant at The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale. This year’s luncheon, which spotlights those who are making a difference in the lives of children and families, will honor Melissa Milroy, senior marketing manager for The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale. The luncheon will also feature informal modeling, networking opportunities, a raffle and a chance to meet the Heart Gallery leadership team.
“Last year’s ‘Tru-Hearts’ inaugural ‘friend’-raiser was a resounding success and we’d like to thank Truluck’s for their continued support of adoptive families,” said Yvette DuBose, executive director of Heart Gallery of Broward County. “This year, we’re thrilled to honor Melissa Milroy, a thoughtful, ommitted civic and community role model who tirelessly advocates for numerous family focused nonprofit organizations.”
A proud Fort Lauderdale native, Melissa Milroy proudly serves as senior marketing manager for The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale, recognized as Broward County’s premier shopping destination. She joined the Galleria’s marketing team 25 years ago, and in that time, forged numerous partnerships to benefit the community. She is the powerhouse behind the destination’s largest philanthropic campaigns, corporate sponsorship programs and initiatives including the sold-out 12th Annual South Florida Ford Men of Style presented by Signature Grand which, this year, raised more than $95,000 for family charities including ARC Broward, Covenant House, Kids in Distress, Jack & Jill Children's Center, HANDY and Take Stock in Children of Broward County.
A huge fan of community investment and of uniting area business and philanthropic partners to better serve the interests of Fort Lauderdale and help it thrive as a complete, unified region, Milroy serves on the boards of the Transportation Management Association, Beach Council of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce and Heart Gallery of Broward County. She is a member of the Marketing Advisory Committee of the Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB and the International Council of Shopping Centers and recently became a Riverwalk Trustee. She has been recognized as a family and community advocate with awards from the Boys & Girls Clubs, the March of Dimes and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce.
“The services, dedication and compassion that the Heart Gallery of Broward County provides to the adoptive children and families of our community is unmatched,” said John Wyner, general manager of Truluck’s Fort Lauderdale. “We hope that by hosting this exclusive luncheon and raising awareness for its outstanding honorees that we will inspire others to support the Heart Gallery.”
Tickets are $100 per person with complimentary valet parking courtesy of The Galleria. To purchase tickets and learn more, please visit blacktie-southflorida.com .
