We are celebrating 20 years of service to the Boquete area, and you're invited to a special celebratory 20th Anniversary event on Saturday, August 23. 2025. The Black & White Ball is not just any event – this will be an event to remember, a magical night of delicious food and wine, spectacular live entertainment, and exclusive items you'll want to bid on in our silent auction.
The setting for this fabulous evening is the beautiful Nomad restaurant in downtown Boquete (next to Tap Out and the Oasis Hotel), a gorgeous property right on the river that has its own magic to contribute and offers plenty of parking across the street.
Tickets are $75 per person and are available exclusively at Mailboxes, Etc. Tickets are selling fast and only 120 tickets are available, so don't wait. Here's what's included with your ticket:
· Free parking
· An opening reception 4-5 pm, featuring 3 signature cocktails and a selection of appetizers
· A gourmet food experience (with gluten free options) at 5 pm, with food stations, a grilling station and a dessert station
· A selection of wines with dinner and coffee or tea with dessert; a great time to catch up with the latest bids at the Silent Auction and make sure you don't miss out on your heart's desire
· Following your sumptuous meal, enjoy our thrilling live entertainment: Be mesmerized by dancer Carsinia Carrillo Ponte as she moves through the audience performing flamenco and other dance styles. Then sit back and enjoy song stylings by the highly sought-after duo of Kevin Leo and Carla Kjaerby
Here are a few highlights of what will be available for bidding at our Silent Auction

20 years of service is a monumental achievement, made possible by dedicated volunteers, determined to provide support to food-insecure families in the Boquete area. We are currently feeding 140 families (600 individuals) who don't make enough money to feed their families and provide things like vital medicines, school supplies, etc. Buenos Vecinos de Boquete exists to bridge that gap and allow families the dignity of being able to put food on the table for their children. No child should have to go to bed hungry, not if people who care come together as a community, for the community.
If you're unable to attend the event, please consider making a donation in support. Click on our donation site on PayPal (Click here), make a direct deposit from your bank with Zelle to buenosvecinosdeboquete1@gmail.com, or at our Table at the BCP Thursday Community Market.
We hope to see you on August 23rd. Bring some friends and make it a party. Thank you for your support of our mission.
