Feb. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Fox, Wackeen, Dungey, Sobel, Bush & McCluskey (Fox Wackeen Dungey) will once again be the Signature Sponsor for The Big Taste, benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties (BBBS). The firm has supported The Big Taste for the past three years and is very dedicated to Big Brothers Big Sisters and the children they serve.  The Big Taste will be hosted by The Evergreen Club in Palm City on March 20, 2012 and is presented in conjunction with The Big Tournament, sponsored by Bayview Construction. This year, The Big Taste welcomes Honorary Chair Bernard Carmouche, Culinary Director for Emeril’s Restaurants.

“Mentoring is very near and dear to the hearts of attorneys, because it is so important during our career development,” said Fox Wackeen Dungey partner and BBBS board member George W. Bush. “It has been proven time and time again that the Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring model works and has demonstrable impact on the lives of participating children. Who wouldn’t support an organization with such a proven impact in our community?”

“We are proud to have Fox Wackeen Dungey supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters and The Big Taste,” said BBBS President and CEO Bill Bee. “Our success is only possible with the support of community conscious businesses and leaders like George Bush and his firm.”
