Singer and Actor Marie Osmond has been announced as the guest speaker for the 24th annual Old Bags Luncheon® benefiting the Center for Family Services of the Palm Beach County. The luncheon returns to The Breakers Palm Beach on February 22, 2023.
Osmond has spent five decades in the entertainment business performing as a successful singer, television performer, talk show host, dancer, actor, author, entrepreneur and public speaker. She has continued to maintain relevance, remaining an instantly recognizable figure across the globe.
One topic Osmond will address is mental health which is at the forefront of the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County’s mission. Osmond has openly talked about postpartum depression and the death of her then 18-year-old son, Michael Blosil, by suicide. Osmond believes that by sharing her stories, she could be helping others.
The Old Bags Luncheon® is Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County’s signature fundraising event. The event boasts an extraordinary silent auction offering a wide selection of new or gently used authentic designer handbags. The luncheon is scheduled for February 22, 2023 at the Breakers in Palm Beach.
