Ghost Light Society Soirée – “A Broadway Bash”

Sponsored By

September 28 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Singer-songwriter Steven Page, a founding member of the legendary Barenaked Ladies, headlines the 15th Anniversary Ghost Light Society Soirée Presented by UKG on Saturday, September 28 from 7 to 11 p.m. at The Parker, 707 N.E. 8th Street in Fort Lauderdale.

The Ghost Light Society’s annual Soirée is one of the hottest tickets in town for young philanthropists and community and business leaders. This year’s event, “A Broadway Bash”, evokes the glamour, excitement and allure of Broadway, all to shine a spotlight on arts in education at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. In addition to an intimate performance by Steven Page, guests will enjoy the red-carpet treatment with delicious food, premium open bar, dancing and more, all onstage at The Parker, which was South Florida’s first Broadway theater beginning in 1967.

Funds raised from the Soirée will support the Broward Center’s wide variety of initiatives that educate, engage and inspire more than 100,000 Broward County students each year, making it the largest free arts-in-education program in the nation.

As a co-founder, vocalist and songwriter for Barenaked Ladies, Steven Page sang and wrote classics like “Brian Wilson,” “If I Had a Million Dollars,” “What A Good Boy,” “It’s All Been Done” and many more. With the band, he sold over 15 million albums and scored multiple Junos, Billboard Music Awards and two Grammy nominations. After leaving the band in 2009, he embarked on a solo career that has produced five albums and seen him tour worldwide, including a recent string of dates opening for rock legends The Who.

In addition to Presenting Sponsor UKG, event sponsors as of July 9 include Entertainment Sponsors Charlie & Laura Palmer and Ashley & Matt Lindsay and Platinum Sponsors Akerman LLP, Amazon, AutoNation, The Boxer Strategy and Whitney Dutton & Family, Broward Health, Crowe LLP and JM Family Enterprises, Inc.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
