Staff member - Deborah Jaffe,
Director of development
After 25 years of living, working, and volunteering in the Palm Beach area, Deborah Jaffe joined Loggerhead Marinelife Center as Director of Development in March 2011. The center’s staff is truly privileged to have her on the team. Since Jaffe’s arrival, she has planned the 18th Annual Loggerhead Invitational Golf Tournament and the Third Annual Go Blue Awards Luncheon, raising $93,000 for the organization. Jaffe is always working hard – she is already working on planning the 2012 Lights Out Gala. Although her diligence is second-to-none, one of her most notable qualities is her ability to laugh! She is known for being amicable and optimistic amongst staff and volunteers alike.
Jaffe has many community involvements as well. She and her husband Marc co-chaired the 2011 North Palm Beach Heart Ball benefiting the American Heart Association, which she has volunteered for since 1993. She co-chaired and chaired the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in 2007 and 2008. Jaffe has also volunteered with Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, American Cancer Society, Executive Women of the Palm Beaches, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Royal Palm Beach Elementary School, and The Arthritis Foundation. She is a proud graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University and previously worked as their Director of Alumni Relations.
When she’s not working or volunteering in the community, Jaffe is the proud mother to Lauren, 7, and 6 year old twins Matthew and Alexa.
