According to a comprehensive impact study conducted by the city, the centennial programming had a significant effect on the community:
- 76.5 percent of Boca Raton’s residents were aware of the programming
- 2 million Florida residents outside of Boca Raton were also aware of the programming
- 44,000 residents took advantage of special promotions and discounts offered during the centennial celebrations
The Providencia Award is a highly esteemed recognition that acknowledges the hard work and dedication of municipalities and organizations in Palm Beach County. The award is presented annually to recognize the most impactful tourism initiatives and programs.
