Dear Friends:
As the Urban League of Broward County closes one of its most successful years, wehave many accomplishments to celebrate. It was a year of tremendous growth. On theheels of a $1 million gift from JM Family Enterprises in 2010, we broke ground on ourfuture home, the Community Empowerment Center. The construction of the centerdelivers a powerful message to our supporters: the Urban League is built to last.
LAYING THE FOUNDATIONThroughout our growth, the Urban League focused on fine-tuning programs thatwould address the barriers to education, jobs, housing and health for low-incomeresidents in Broward County. The Community Empowerment Center will allow us tobroaden our reach in the community by serving more children, families and youth inneed. We knew that our expansion project would not only add economic value to thesurrounding community—but it would also fit the true needs of our clients.
GOING BEYOND CONSTRUCTION Laying the foundation for our new home was only half the battle. It was equallyimportant to design a blueprint for improving the continuum of critical servicesoffered by the Urban League. Our construction crew—composed of our dedicatedBoard of Directors, volunteers and staff, played an important role in building the“new” Urban League. It is due to their commitment and the generosity of ourinvestors that allows us to empower communities and change lives each year.
We are pleased to share some highlights from the past year with you and lookforward to building a better Broward County for our families, colleagues and friends.
Built to last…
