Peter Brock

Peter B. Brock of Palm Beach Gardens was elected to the National Board of Directors of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), as of July 1. His term will run through June 30, 2014. A principal of Brock Development, he has been developing commercial real estate since 1975, concentrating in the New York and Florida markets.

For LLS, he initiated a golf tournament that brought in 80 new people, several of whom have transitioned on to the Palm Beach Chapter’s Board of Trustees. He helped to revamp the board and championed a leadership campaign in 2010. He and his wife Janice initiated the idea to add Call for a Cure at the chapter’s gala by offering “Build a Bears” with balloons, which have sold for $3,000 each. One year, he auctioned off a bear for more than $6,000. He assists with donor development by personally contacting donors and sharing his story of losing his father to leukemia.
