Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County hosted the 2024 Women Build Kick-off event at The Ben West Palm Hotel.

Upon their arrival, the guests were treated to sipping champagne from the Champagne living table while admiring the beautiful view of Palm Beach from The Ben’s rooftop venue. The living room settings from Habitat’s ReStore adorned the main area while guests enjoyed mingling with other women builders and the 2024 Women Build committee. Additionally, guests enjoyed shopping at the J’da Palm Beach and Spark Boutiques, receiving skincare assessments by Aesthetics Lounge & Spa, and indulging in a curated dessert bar by Crumb n Crust and Nothing Bundt Cakes. The room was buzzing with excitement, and guests were entertained by the hottest music in town while posing for the camera in the photo booth.

“It was our sincere pleasure to host the Women Kickoff Build event for Habitat for Humanity at The Ben Hotel. Being part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection is inspired by the legacy of Mrs. Byrd Spillman Dewey, a remarkable trailblazer, businesswoman, and author. Our hotel, rooted in her story, finds special meaning in supporting this event,” said Bernardo Neto, General Manager, The Ben West Palm Hotel. “Embracing the spirit of a true entrepreneur, we are honored to contribute to a cause that builds homes and futures.”

Guests also had the opportunity to listen to Women Build Chairs Camille Murphy Kubicek and Aimee Craig Carlson share their personal experiences on why they are involved in the mission of Habitat.  Habitat homeowner, Teawanna also spoke and expressed her love and gratitude for the nonprofit that she considers part of her family. “Habitat is always there for me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without their support.”
