PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:

Broward House Shines
I am proud to be a part of the board of Broward House, an outstanding organization providing a full array of services to those living with and at risk for HIV and other health issues. On Friday, I had the heartwarming opportunity to see 27 individual adults graduate from their substance abuse treatment program. Each graduate had tears in their eyes and were so thankful to the Broward House staff for giving them a chance to live. It is through fund-raising efforts that programs like this are possible.

This past week, Macy's Fort Lauderdale Galleria store hosted a fashion show to raise funds exclusively for Broward House. For further information, either contact us directly or visit Broward House on-line.
