Community, Connection, and a Whole Lot of Heart This February!
Dear Friend of Arc Broward,
February is a month filled with heart, and at Arc Broward, that heart is our community and the people we serve.
Our participants have been out and about, doing what everyone deserves to do: showing up, being seen, and enjoying their community as an important part of it. From cheering on the Florida Panthers at hockey games—thanks to our friend and partner Sergei Bobrovsky—to exploring car shows and visiting the zoo, these experiences are about more than fun. They’re about inclusion, confidence, and shared joy.
We’ve also seen the power of community shine through special events and partnerships. Our Miss Arc Broward contestants recently welcomed guests at Line, Vine & Dine, a fabulous fundraiser hosted by the Emeril Lagasse Foundation that benefits nonprofits like ours. Many of our Arc Culinary graduates had the opportunity to attend and work alongside chefs from across the country, an unforgettable experience made possible through meaningful community connections.
Sometimes, opportunity begins with a simple introduction. One made by a Miss Arc Broward Teen Ambassador led to a connection with the Cooper City Farmers Market, and ultimately, a job for two of our job seekers. It’s a powerful reminder that community support opens doors.
This is what belonging looks like. And for those looking for a way to be part of it—whether through introductions, partnerships, or sharing opportunities—our Business Advisory Council is one way to help open doors and make a difference.
We are deeply thankful for a community that believes in inclusion and helps make full, meaningful lives possible for the people we serve
