Lou Jacobs shared, "We were thrilled to once again host competitors and spectators for the Palm Beach Masters Series. The series showcases multiple levels of the sport -- from amateur riders to the world's elite -- in a one-of-kind setting. JustWorld does a great job in helping us to provide fun activities for our youngest spectators, and we are honored to contribute to their incredibly worthy cause."As Presenting Sponsor of JustWorld's 15th Annual JustWorld Gala, held on January 12, 2018, the Palm Beach Masters Series donated funds to help support JustWorld's partner projects around the world. JustWorld works with local NGO's in Cambodia, Guatemala, Honduras and now the United States, to help sustain programs that provide basic needs to children with little opportunity to receive support from other sources. With their donation, more than 6,500 children will be supported through education, nutrition, health and hygiene, and leadership and cultural development programs, giving them the tools to break the cycle of poverty.JustWorld thanks the Palm Beach Masters Series for their continued support!
