"Catching the Winning Behaviors" Spotlight
|
|
Teachers, parents, students and community members all around the country wore #RedforEd on April 19 to show support for education and our students. Given the extreme underfunding that Florida's schools have faced for over a decade, this provided a positive action to highlight the need for increased funding for our neighborhood public schools. It also built solidarity among our members and the community, which reinforces the power of collective action. #Fundourfuture

Corporate 5K

"A small but mighty DP team conquered the 25th Annual Corporate 5k last week. We traversed the city streets with teams from small businesses and corporations from across the city. We were only 4 members strong but no one was more spirited than our squad. It was a fun night of wellness and fellowship and we hope to see more of you out there next year. The 4 of us will definitely be back!"
