I'm thrilled to have been asked to speak at the annual Grantee Awards luncheon hosted by the Health Foundation of South Florida (HFSF). Steve Marcus, Shari Gantman and the team at HFSF do an incredible job running a top-notch organization supporting charitable, scientific and educational purposes to advance the health and well being of the people of Miami-Dade, Monroe and Broward Counties.
On Monday, April 23, HFSF will honor 22 nonprofit health organziations in South Florida that are the recipients of $2.8 million dollars in grants ranging from $25,000 to $310,000.
Organizations recently receiving funding include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Miami, $25,000 to develop a healthy lifestyle promotion program; CHARLEE of Dade County, $70,000 to improve health care services management; Community Partnership for Homeless, $288,000 to support the operation of a mobile dental clinic and Creative Children Therapy, $43,000, to improve communications skills of disabled children.
In addition, the Public Health Trust/Jackson Health System, $ 232,000 to improve nursing care; South Florida Jail Ministries, $198,655 to enhance information technology system and the Theodore R. Gibson Memorial Fund, $25,000 to advocate for the health of at-risk seniors.
“Supporting the essential efforts of nonprofits working to improve the health of underserved individuals and families in South Florida is at the core our mission” said Health Foundation Chairman Sheldon D. Dagen, CPA. He added, “We are proud to partner with grantees in addressing community needs and ensuring that residents have opportunities for better health.”
As you can see, HFSF supports amazing efforts that contribute to helping many people improve their quality of life, make healthier choices and create a better world for all of us. Congratulations to all the Grantees! For a full listing of Grantees, visit the HFSF website at http://www.hfsf.org/.
