Boca Helping Hands and FAU to Center for Holocaust and Host a Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive Human Rights Education Honors During Hunger Action Month Educators Boca Helping Hands (BHH), in collaboration with Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Athletics and Cereal4All, for the second year running, will commemorate September’s Hunger Action Month by hosting a Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive during the FAU vs. Southeastern Louisiana football game. The game will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10 at 6:00 pm at the FAU Stadium, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Those who donate one or more cereal boxes will get into the game for free. Unopened cereal boxes can be dropped at the stadium (Gate 1) on game day. “This is a great way to see your favorite football team play while helping to fight hunger in our community,” said Greg Hazle, Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands. “Cereal is one of the least donated items to food banks across the country, which means underserved kids and families do not always get to start their day with
a nutritious breakfast.” Cereal4All was started by twin brothers Jett and Luke Justin of Boca Raton, now 14 years old. After volunteering at Boca Helping Hands (BHH) with their parents, Jett and Luke organized their first cereal drive for BHH at their school in 2016 when they were just eight years old. The boys have since expanded the program to more than 15 schools in the area. “We want to live in a world where every kid and family has daily access to breakfast food in their home,” Luke Justin said. “We want to be part of the fight against food insecurity.” To learn more, visit BocaHelpingHands.org/TackleHunger.

The Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education (CHHRE) at Florida Atlantic University recently announced the Gutterman Family Outstanding Holocaust Educator Awards for 2022. The award recognizes educators who have demonstrated a positive impact on their schools and the wider community in the field of Holocaust, genocide and human rights education. It honors individuals who, by their example and through teaching about these difficult subjects, strengthen South Florida students’ world citizenship and capacity to uphold the dignity of all persons. This year’s recipients are: Broward County Public Schools: Chelsea Dittrich, Sunrise Middle School Tracy Sachs, Deerfield Beach High School School District of Palm Beach County: Maureen Carter, Boca Raton High School The Gutterman Center will recognize the educators on Monday, Nov. 7 at the Annual Award Dinner Honoring Outstanding Holocaust Educators. Through the generosity of the Arthur Gutterman family, the award enables recipients to participate in an educator field study at Holocaust sites in Poland and Israel. The field study trip should occur in early summer 2023. This years’ recipients will travel with educator award winners from 2020 and 2021 who were unable to go due to travel restrictions and health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Each year, for the past 11 years,

we have celebrated the accomplishments of outstanding teachers who go above and beyond the requirements of the Holocaust education mandate and are truly making a difference in the lives of their students, in their schools and in the world,” said Linda Medvin, director of the Gutterman CHHRE. “Many things have changed but we know that education is the best hope against hatred and the Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center is committed to continue our mission to keep the hope alive.” The Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education is a 501(c) 3 not-forprofit organization whose mission is to promote respect for all people through the study of Holocaust, genocide and human rights, and is an integral unit of FAU’s Center for Peace, Justice and Human Rights. The Center relies exclusively on private donations to provide professional learning programs and classroom resources for teachers and students, and community programs to support the mandated instruction of the Holocaust required by Florida law. Programs include teacher workshops, Holocaust Summer Institute, and an annual trip to the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C., as well as programming open to the community. The Gutterman CHHRE serves K-12 educators in public, private, charter, parochial and Jewish Day Schools throughout Broward, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, and Martin counties.
