A Bi-Weekly Highlight of the Great Impact Your Generosity Is Making Possible to People in Our Community

Creole Symposium: A Day of Culture and Wellness

United Way Broward’s Commission on Behavioral Health & Drug Prevention’s Creole Initiative Action Team (CIAT), led by Co-Chairs Tamara Béliard Rodriguez and Dr. Jude Alcide, hosted our second annual Creole Symposium, a powerful event focused on behavioral health and prevention in the Haitian community.

MISSION UNITED’s annual Backpack Broward was a tremendous success — with over 750 backpacks delivered to children in Veteran households. Thank you to all of the dedicated Donors and volunteers. Because of you, children from Veteran families now are ready and confident for the new school year.
