In January, at the 40th Annual Caritas Dei Bishop's Gala, The Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito, Bishop of the Diocese of Palm Beach, awarded Borynack the with the distinctive Bishop's Charity Medal. The award was in recognition of Borynack's lifetime of charitable outreach, including his long-standing commitment to supporting the work of Catholic Charities, and has only been awarded once before.

In February, at the Lighthouse Guild's 'Visionary Evening' Dinner Dance, Borynack was awarded The Lighthouse Guild's Visionary Award, recognizing his philanthropic vision and community spirit.

Lastly, at the 32nd Annual Alexis de Tocqueville Society Award Dinner in March, Borynack was presented with the Distinguished Citizen Award, the highest accolade bestowed by the Town of Palm Beach United Way, recognizing unparalleled leadership in philanthropy. Town of Palm Beach United Way's Board Chairman, Bill Tiefel, commented "Jimmy Borynack represents the very best in our society, bringing talent, expertise, originality, friendship and empathy to every business endeavor, non-profit position and community role he undertakes. From children and families to hospice patients, to artists, Jimmy Borynack goes above and beyond to serve others."

These awards recognize the philanthropic efforts not only of James Borynack, but also of Findlay Galleries, which is often the platform for his efforts. Indeed, throughout the Palm Beach season, Borynack and his partner Adolfo Zaralegui (Findlay Galleries' President) made significant contributions of time and treasury to several organizations.

In 2022/2023, Borynack and Zaralegui hosted several pre-gala cocktail receptions for the Catholic Charities Diocese of Palm Beach, the Palm Beach Symphony, the Lighthouse Guild, Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County, the Center of Creative Education, and the Town of Palm Beach United Way's Red Feather Society. They also hosted individual receptions and dinners on their renowned terrace for major donors of the Four Arts' "Americans in Paris" Dinner Dance and for the donors of the Cleveland Museum of Art. As a special tribute to the Friends of the Uffizi, they hosted a cocktail reception on their terrace for that organization's regional members.

In step with its leadership, Findlay Galleries is committed to supporting recognized regional and national charities in Palm Beach and New York on an ongoing basis. As such, the gallery's exciting and engaging charitable events schedule for the 2023-24 season promises to bring the utmost support and awareness to the needs of those less fortunate and the charitable programs that support those in our community that need it most.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
