Jena Sims Koepka, Inspiration Award

Sims Koepka is a philanthropist and entrepreneur, a former Miss Georgia Teen USA and the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie of the Year. As founder and president of HBBQ's, Inc. (Has-Been Beauty Queens), she created the Pageant of Hope, an international initiative that celebrates individuality, confidence and inclusion.

Her connection to the cause is personal. She and her husband, professional golfer Brooks Koepka, welcomed their son, Crew, six weeks early, and he spent 20 days in the NICU. She also serves as a chair and emcee for Best Buddies Palm Beach, unLIMBited Foundation, Bella's Angels and Little Smiles.

Danielle Ford, Advocacy Award

Ford leads with the LEEDS Foundation to bridge resource gaps for children, adults and veterans with disabilities throughout Palm Beach County. Born two months prematurely, she and her twin sister, Christina, have cerebral palsy.

Her own experience obtaining specialized medical equipment and support shapes her commitment to helping individuals and families find the resources to live more independently.

Nicholas A. Mastroianni III, Philanthropy Award

Mastroianni, a Palm Beach County business leader, supports philanthropic work with his family through the Mastroianni Family Foundation. A multiyear, multimillion-dollar contribution helped establish the Mastroianni Family Pediatric Emergency Department at Jupiter Medical Center, which provides specialized emergency care to more than 3,000 children a year.

The foundation also supports Hannah's Home of South Florida, which provides safe housing and essential resources to vulnerable mothers and their babies. Mastroianni is a father of four.
