PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — WPTV reporter Dave Bohman and professional golfer Brad Faxon joined hundreds of supporters at the Robert + Friends Holiday Party on Sunday, helping raise more than $100,000 for foster children in Palm Beach County.
The annual fundraiser benefits Speak Up for Kids, an organization that supports more than 1,600 foster-involved and housing-insecure youth throughout the county each year.

Event founder Robert Donohoo has built the holiday party into one of Palm Beach County's longest-running and most impactful community fundraisers.
The event has become a cornerstone of holiday giving in the region, bringing together community leaders, local businesses and long-time supporters.
