Proud Moments! We received a call from Eric M. Chisem (Hall of Famer), Broward County Public Schools Strategic Business Partnership, that our scholars at Parkway Middle School were using their track uniforms as their volleyball uniforms and would appreciate it if we could TEAMUP with another company to provide a new set. My response was, "We got you! I have to run it past the board, but that's why we work hard to raise money to support our schools." Thanks to YOUR SUPPORT of our previous Only The Beginning "It Takes a Village" Brunch & Bowl and our Golf & Casino Fundraiser, WE were able to provide Broward County Public Schools Parkway Middle School with a $1,000.00 check for new volleyball uniforms. ?? ?? ?? The other supporting company provided $700.00, showing how the POWER OF WORKING TOGETHER can provide a blessing to local schools that last for YEARS. Now, just imagine IF some of our scholars go to college on a volleyball scholarship. ?? This is the LONGLASTING IMPACT we look forward to bringing to schools throughout Broward County Public Schools and Miami-Dade County Public Schools with your continued support. Let's improve school ENVIRONMENTS by discussing how we can WQRK TOGETHER to build a better support system. The #1 thing school principals and staff in underserved communities say they need is "More Support." #SmallThingsMakeHugeImpact #OnlyTheBeginning #GAMEChangersInc MARK THE DATE FOR OUR UPCOMING FUNDRAISERS! - May 31, 2025 - Bruch & Bowl Fundraiser - September 27, 2025 - Golf & Casino Fundraiser Thank you, Sponsor, Donors, and Guest Speakers.
