Belle Glade Community

Due to weather, the Enrichment Center in Belle Glade, Florida has been condemned. This facility is vital, as it provides the children of underserved communities with a safe environment for education, creativity, and a hot meal. So far, we have raised the funds to build the Creative Waves Music Room, and are continuing fundraising efforts to complete the Enrichment Center. This program has helped many children graduate high school, receive college scholarships, be drafted in the NFL, and ultimately break the cycle.
