Boca West's Jay DiPietro had a 14-table cheering section, so when he won two trophies at Boca's Ballroom Battle, the place erupted.
Supporters spilled out onto the dance floor at the Boca Raton Resort & Club Aug. 19 to congratulate DiPietro, 74, for his dancing, trophies and raising $36,000, the most money among the four male contestants. Breathless, all he could say was "I'm thrilled."
Longtime community volunteer Patricia "Pat" Thomas told the crowd she was "in it to win it." She took the fundraising title for the women at $49,000. Jackie Reeves, managing director of Bell Rock Capital and president-elect of the Junior League of Boca Raton, won the female dance title for her rumba.
