7th Annual Global Getaways
Finds New Home
On November 6, Edie Yates and Carol and Steve Boyington opened their homes in Lakeland
to host the 7th Annual Global Getaways, Good Shepherd Hospice’s premier fundraising event.
This year’s theme, Cruise to the Islands, transported guests to a tropical paradise on the scenic
shores of Lake Morton.
The adjacent Yates and Boyington
properties share a beautifully landscaped
courtyard and terrace, which provided the
perfect backdrop for the various ports of
call where guests could feel as if they were
transported to Jamaica, the Virgin Islands,
Puerto Rico and St. Martin. Guests sampled
selections from a delectable island menu,
created by Prestiage Catering of Lakeland,
and enjoyed wine, beer and an open bar
featuring orange juice from event sponsor
Florida’s Natural.
For the first time, Global Getaways also
featured exciting charity casino games. Guests
could tempt Lady Luck at the blackjack
tables or try their hand at a special poker
table, hosted by dealer Todd Baylis, son of
Edie Yates. The casino games gave guests a
Susan Badcock, Tom Conger, Edie Yates, Steve Boyington, Carol Boyington and Phillip Walker
fun way to win exceptional prizes, including
an Apple iPad donated by Edie Yates, a 42”
flat screen TV donated by Badcock Furniture, and a wine and gift certificate basket donated by
Columbia Restaurant.
Global Getaways co-chairs Phillip and Cappie Walker
and Edie Yates greeted guests throughout the evening
and later announced that the event had raised more than
$20,000 for Good Shepherd Hospice and the Bethany
Center for Grieving Children. As the evening drew to
a close, guests flocked to the courtyard to dance to the
melodic tunes from the Azwon Band, which played an
upbeat mix of reggae, calypso, and Motown music. Many
thanks to our hosts, sponsors and guests for making
Global Getaways such a big success!
