Boca West Children’s Foundation Collected 250,000+ Diapers Through Its Annual Drive, Shattering the 2022 Record

Boca Raton, FL – Records were shattered recently when Boca West Children’s Foundation (BWCF) collected more than 250,000+ diapers during its 8th Annual Diaper Drive in February. In 2022, a record 180,000 were donated, an increase over 2021’s 100,000 diapers.

The diapers were donated to the Diaper Bank, Covering South Florida and then distributed to non-profits that care for local babies and toddlers. The Foundation has served as a major supporter of the Diaper Bank since 2016 as it falls within the organization’s mission to help programs that aid local children.

“The Diaper Drive was an absolute triumph! Our ‘stretch’ goal was 250,000, 38% more than we delivered last year to our partner charity. Our tall task was even more challenging because the price of diapers has soared since last year, and yet diapers continue to pour in,” said Pamela Weinroth, Executive Director/COO of Boca West Children’s Foundation.

“In order for parents to work, they need to provide enough diapers each day in order for their children to attend daycare,” said Richard Zenker, Board Chair of the Boca West Children’s Foundation. “Not only does the diaper drive help keep children healthy, it helps keep our economy going by making it easier for parents to work. The Supplemental Nutrition Supplement Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, does not cover diapers.”

Infants and toddlers who remain in soiled diapers for too long are at risk of urinary tract infections and skin infections. Most child-care centers, even free and subsidized facilities, require parents to provide a daily supply of disposable diapers to care for a baby. Without child-care, parents can-

not go to work or school.

Boca Raton, FL – It’s a cold, cloudy day at Manatee Lagoon, FPL’s Eco-Discovery Center, and the place is buzzing with visitors. Families and tourists stop by hoping to spot a manatee swimming in the surrounding waters, but some visitors might be surprised to learn that on the building’s second floor, 30 South Florida teachers are building robots.

They’ve been invited by FPL and FAU Lab Schools, an independent public school district with two schools under Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, in hopes of spreading STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) programs to local students.

At the workshop, teachers spent the morning learning about the mechanics behind underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and creating them using PVC pipes, propellers and circuit boards. Once they finished building the ROVs, they tested their robots in an inflatable pool – enthralling visitors who came just to see marine mammals with the surprise of a different kind of underwater show.

“Most students in STEM programs have done a lot with ground robotics, wheels and sensors, but underwater robotics adds another level of complexity,” Kyle Bush said. “It’s very different than what’s usually taught in STEM. It makes students think in different ways and it’s very engaging.”

Bush is the lead project manager for FPL’s robotics programs within Power Delivery where he uses advanced remote-controlled robots to monitor substations around the state. He often volunteers in local STEM programs like these because he believes it’s crucial for the next generation of students to be exposed to opportunities that may turn into exciting and well-paying jobs in the future.

“I need someone to take my job when I retire,” Bush laughs. “In the future, we’ll need people to support these roles and it’s through STEM education and partnerships like these that we can make it happen.” FAU Lab Schools’

STEM teacher James Nance agrees, “We have a real need for students in the engineering and STEM fields in our country

Last year, one of the student teams he coached earned the World Champion title. Both robotics enthusiasts hope they share the title with other South Florida schools in the upcoming tournaments.

The first step, Nance said, is helping Florida teachers create new and engaging STEM opportunities for their students, a mission FPL was happy to help with by hosting the STEM workshop at Manatee Lagoon and gifting each teacher a $450 ROV kit and tool bag to begin new teams in their local elementary, middle and high schools.

Among the dozens of Broward and Palm Beach County teachers at the workshop was a group of Boynton Beach teachers excited to bring back robotics lessons to their students.

“I think it’s fabulous training and providing the materials to create the robots makes it easier,” Dawn Lane, a thirdgrade teacher at Crystal Lakes Elementary, said. She’s going to host her own presentation to share what she learned with the rest of the teachers at her school.

Others in her group are thinking of creating their own student teams to compete at the upcoming underwater robotics tournament.

“I’d expect to see 70-80% of these teachers at our regional tournament at least and we hope to provide opportunities for their students to move forward to nationals,” Nance said.

FPL is helping by sponsoring four regional qualifying tournaments and registration expenses of a minimum of eight local middle and high school teams, providing them with the opportunity to attend the International SeaPerch Challenge at the University of Maryland on May 13. FPL also donated $25,000 to FAU Lab Schools.

“With the check presented today, we’ll see the impact right away with these teachers each taking home supplies, robot kits and tool kits they can use in their classrooms that are worth $450 alone,” Nance said. “This would probably be half the budget they have for their entire science department, so it’s incredible to have. They can use these tools to run dozens of teams for the next few years.”

Nobody can ever do everything in the world that needs to be accomplished. In other words, no individual may be viewed as omni-competent. Yet, everyone can do some necessary thing. It’s imperative that people recognize what they can do best, and concentrate in that expertise!

Each individual should be more concerned in finding the place and the function to deliver with excellence, instead of attempting what would become an effort leading nowhere or a labor not providing the quality expected, thus causing unnecessary frustration and distress.

POSITIVE LIVING

Know Your Limitations!

Unquestionably, certain people will always be ahead of others on account of certain abilities that come more naturally to them than other functions. Quality productions stem from personal understanding and proper use of talents, gifts, personal interest, and other factors related to an action envisioned for completion! Knowing one’s limitations is as vital as recognizing one’s strengths for the eventual satisfaction being sought in personal productions in any field of endeavor. This allows the work being accomplished to reflect good quality, manifest excel -

lence, bringing legitimate satisfaction to the beneficiaries of the work as it’s also the case with the one producing it!

That’s why in most fields of endeavor, people contribute in the areas where they spend a long time specializing, to deliver their best rather than just the “acceptable.” A cardiologist will not be effective as a gynecologist as he will be in his own field; a tax attorney won’t be as effective in constitutional law as those who specialized in that branch of the legal profession.

The Amazing Paradox Of Rest

In Jordan Raynor’s book, Redeeming Your Time, he uses a story from the 1800s to encourage us to remember the importance of Sabbath rest. Raynor writes that during the famous California Gold Rush, some of the adventurous individuals, embracing visions of striking gold and instantly becoming rich, traveled westward toward California seven days a week. Others, however, only traveled for six days each week, stopping to rest each Sabbath.

The differing travel schedules apparently had paradoxical results one might not expect. “The Emigrants Guide to California,” which was published in 1849, offered the observation that, “If you rest one day out of seven, you will get to California 20 days sooner than others who do not.”

This finding, that those traveling by covered wagon only six days a week out of seven actually advanced faster

than their relentless, everyday counterparts, confirms what the Bible teaches about taking off one day for rest and physical renewal. In Leviticus 23:3 it says, “There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of Sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work.”

This was a command God gave to the ancient people of Israel following their release from bondage in Egypt. But establishing one day a week for Sabbath rest is as relevant today as it was many years ago.

There is a related verse that addresses seeking a proper balance between work and rest. In another Old Testament book, we are told, “If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success” (Ecclesiastes 10:10).

One application of this teaching is that once the blade of an ax has become dulled, it requires more effort

and more time to accomplish the same result.

American President Abraham Lincoln is reputed to have said, “If I only had an hour to chop down a tree, I would spend the first 45 minutes sharpening my axe.” Envision one man frantically chopping without stopping, trying to cut down a large tree, while another keeps his ax blade sharp so it will cut easily.

Many people in the business and professional world work extremely long hours, sometimes seven days a week, ignoring their need for personal refreshment. They ignore this paradox of being able to accomplish more if we work less, setting aside time for much-needed rest. They do not stop to “sharpen the ax.”

In some nations, people observe “Labor Day” or an event by a different name, declaring it a national holiday –a day of rest – to celebrate the values

abilities to every human, and only time, study, and involvement in a variety of activities will help point where they can produce with confidence, deliver top quality, and continue improving the skills which will advance an area of productivity, and offer excellence to those who are to benefit from it.

Find your passion, develop your skills, never stop studying and improving, and lead a fulfilled life on earth positively affecting others with whatever service you can provide with honesty, top quality, and ever proven good results!

and virtues of work. In the U.S.A., it is traditionally the first Monday in September. Work is honored, but appropriately by setting aside an additional day for rest.

Reading through the Bible, we find many teachings about the importance of hard work, recognizing how initiative and enterprise in the workplace generate great rewards, both financial and in terms of enjoyment and fulfillment. For instance, Proverbs 10:4 states, “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.” Also, “The laborer’s appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on” (Proverbs 16:26).

However, these passages do not ignore the importance and necessity of rest. Even in the biblical account of Creation, it says, “By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from his work” (Genesis 2:2).

Change: One Of Life’s Certainties

The adage from years ago informed us the only things certain in life are death and taxes. Those two remain constant, at least in most countries, but there is at least one other certainty we all must confront: Change. Just as surely as the sun will rise in the east every morning, each new day will bring with it changes of some kind, whether we like it or not.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about monumental changes, of course. And lately we have been hearing that, along with the virus making an unwanted comeback, bringing with it the threat of renewed social restrictions and regulations, other major health challenges might be looming.

But health and medical concerns are not the only causes for massive change in our lives. The economy, both nationally and globally, seems more volatile than ever. As a result, decision-making for both our businesses and our personal lives becomes more complex. Technology is a perpetual source of change, requiring that we become flexible and adaptive if we are to remain competitive in the 21st century marketplace. Within our own industries, change is a constant companion – again, like it or not.

So how are we to respond? I like the advice of leadership consultant and author Tim Kight, who said, “Change is often inconvenient and uncomfortable, but that does not make it a threat. Changes gives you an opportunity to differentiate yourself. Most people do not like change, so do not be like most people. Step up and respond with discipline to the opportunity that change presents.”

Those are wise words. While everyone else seems to be agonizing over and resisting change, we have the option of embracing it, uniquely positioning ourselves as

change advocates. Admittedly, that is much easier to say than to put into action. So how do we do this? Faith in God can be a great asset in being able to do that. Consider a few things the Bible tells us about change: God does not change. In dealing with the shifting currents of change, it helps to find a source of stability, an anchor to keep us from going far adrift. The Scriptures teach that God is the anchor, the one constant in an ever-changing world. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity” (Jude 1:25).

The unchanging God holds the ever-changing future. Would you like to know that when unexpected, even unwanted changes come, you can trust the outcome of those changes has been determined? Faith in God gives us this assurance. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11). “Call on Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).

God is always with us. In traveling through unfamiliar territory, it is always helpful to have a guide who knows the way to reach our intended destination. “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). “So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

FAU Earns Military Friendly Status for 12th Consecutive Year

For the 12th straight year, Florida Atlantic University is being recognized as a Military Friendly® School, earning the “Category: Tier 2 Research Institution” designation.

“FAU takes great pride in providing exceptional services, programs and, most importantly, an education to our brave military and veteran students and their dependents,” said Donald Gabriel, director of FAU’s Military and Veterans Affairs. “We are honored to receive this recognition for the 12th straight year.”

FAU’s Office of Military and Veterans Student Success Center serves more than 1,000 military and veteran students, which includes dependents eligible for military and veteran educational benefits. It promotes activities and programs intended to enhance military and veteran student success while creating a platform for veterans to engage the community.

Children’s Home Society of Florida to Reunify More Families with Success of Spring Luncheon

Palm Beach, FL – Patrons and friends of Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) gathered Wednesday, March 1, for its 3rd Annual Spring Luncheon at The Colony Hotel. Chaired by Gale Brophy, Giselle Parry, Wendy Roberts and Lori Stoll, the luncheon was sold out and raised more than $180,000 for CHS’s Family Visitation Center in West Palm Beach.

Margaret Donnelley and Kathy Leone served as Honorary Chairs. In recognition of her efforts to bring the Family Visitation Center to Palm Beach, Kathy was also honored with CHS’s Child Advocate of the Year Award. “Today in Palm Beach County, many of our neighbors are struggling at a level most in this room can’t even begin to imagine; struggles that are pushing parents to their breaking point with the fallout landing on the littlest ones. When these children are forced to separate from their parents and everything else familiar in their life, our dependency system works hard to reunite them as quickly as possible, but the process can still take nine months to over a year. This is where the Family Visitation Center plays a vital role. It meets the critical need for services that not only help a family stabilize and feel supported but give them the opportunity to spend time together to maintain familial bonds and minimize the traumatic effects of separation as much as possible,”Leone shared in her acceptance speech.

Prior to lunch, guests enjoyed a silent auction and shopping at the exclusive Jennifer Tattanelli pop up boutique. After lunch, guests had the opportunity to hear directly from a mother who shared her personal account of having her young children removed from her home. With help and hope from CHS,

she was reunited with her two sons after being separated for over a year.

The luncheon ended with a Grand Finale Call to the Heart hosted by “Mr. Palm Beach” himself, Rob Russell. Knowing the critical needs of the center, guests displayed immense generosity, including Lois Pope, who stood up to make the first pledge, taking home a European River Cruise courtesy of AmaWaterways and Travel Leaders.

The only facility of its kind in Palm Beach County, the Center provides families with a safe, home-like atmosphere where they benefit from consistent, quality visits together. The ultimate goal is to permanently reunify in a safe, stronger home – together. Funds raised from the luncheon will allow CHS to hire additional staff and provide transportation opportunities, meaning a waiting list of families in need can turn into more families being served.

Luncheon sponsors included Presenting: Valerie Winchester; Champions: Shawn M. Donnelley, Leone Family Trust, Mrs. Lee Munder and The Sovereign Order of St. John; Advocates: Margaret Donnelley, Nancy Richter, Wendy Roberts, Sunny Sessa, and International Society of Palm Beach; Supporter: Lois Pope, Patrons: Jane Brickell, Aileen Carlucci, Gita Costa, Pamela Fiori, Arlette Gordon, Grace Haggerty and Ed and Barbara O’Sullivan.

How to Decide Which Birth Control Method is Right for You

With multiple contraceptive methods available, including sterilization, contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices and condoms, many women may wonder which is right for them. Because many lifestyle and health-related factors can influence this personal and intimate decision, there is no one option that is a good choice for all women.

The best method of birth control a woman can choose is one that she knows is safe, that she is comfortable using, and that she is able to use consistently and correctly.

When evaluating contraception options, experts suggest that women consider several factors, including:

• Do you plan to get pregnant in a few years or a few months?

• How frequently do you have sex and how many partners do you have?

• How effective is each method of contraception?

• How safe are your options and what side effects or risks do they pose?

• Do you have religious or cultural beliefs that need to be considered?

• Is the method you might choose convenient and affordable?

• Do you have any health issues that might make some options unsafe for you?

Health History

There are both hormonal and non-hormonal forms of birth control. While millions of women have successfully used hormonal contraception like the birth control pill for decades, it is important for women to speak with their healthcare provider about their health history when choosing a birth control method.

Birth control that contains estrogen can increase a woman’s risk for heart attack, stroke and dangerous blood clots. In fact, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, women who use hormonal contraception have a three- to nine-fold greater risk for blood clots compared to women who do not use birth control that contains estrogen. When women have other risk fac-

tors for blood clots, like obesity or a personal or family history of clotting, their risk can dramatically increase. For example, research shows that blood clot risks are doubled in women who are obese, and the risk for dangerous blood clots is 35 times greater among women who use hormonal birth control and are also affected by the most common genetic clotting disorder factor V Leiden.

Birth control methods that contain estrogen also present health risks to women with medical conditions like severe diabetes, hypertension and breast cancer.

Women considering their contraception options can get information that will help them navigate the range of birth control methods available, and also complete a health history questionnaire to share with their healthcare provider, by visiting the Alexandra Rowan Foundation at www.alexrowanfoundation.org.

Women should never feel pressured by partners, friends, family or their healthcare provider to choose a form of birth control. Birth control is a woman’s choice and, when fully informed, women can select a contraceptive method that is safe, effective, and meets their specific needs.

Spring Cleaning: Don’t Toss That ‘Junk,’ It May Be Valuable!

It’s time to hit the garage, basement, attic and closets for that age-old task of spring cleaning! Before hauling unwanted possessions to the curb, you may be surprised to learn they might be valuable -- especially if you have sports cards and memorabilia gathering dust.

With prices of sports cards rising in recent years, take time to determine if yours are valuable and how to best sell them.

“Older sports cards and memorabilia aren’t just highly collectible; they can be worth lots of money. Recent sales of scarce vintage cards have topped anywhere from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. And really rare cards can go higher,” says Al Crisafulli, Auction Director at Love of the Game Auctions, an internet sports auction house that helps families identify and sell valuable items.

Crisafulli has assisted people in selling such keepsakes as a grandparent’s autograph collection and an uncle’s childhood baseball cards, for tens of thousands of dollars. In one life-changing event, he helped a family determine that a baseball bat that spent decades protecting their home was used by Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig -- and Love of the Game Auctions sold it for almost half a million dollars. Today, that bat could bring more than a million dollars.

The key is understanding what makes old sports collectibles valuable. To help, Crisafulli is sharing some tips:

Older is Usually Pricier

Cards from the 1960s and earlier are collectible, and those from before the 1940s can be worth a lot of money, especially those depicting stars. Do you have cards of Hall of Famers, such as Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner or Ty Cobb? Even non-stars from the early days of a sport can be worth big bucks, especially if the cards have no creases and retain sharp corners and original gloss. If you have very old cards from the 1880s through the 1930s, look for tobacco, gum and

candy brands, such as Old Judge, Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, Goudey or American Caramel.

If you want to sell sports items for the most money, consider a specialty auction, such as Love of the Game, which has the expertise to properly research sports ephemera and maintains bidder lists of collectors specializing in sports. More information is available at loveofthegameauctions.com.

Postcards and Photographs

We all have keepsakes of vacation destinations, but most aren’t valuable. However,

photographs and postcards depicting sports stars and ballparks can be significant. Look for early “real photo” postcards from the 1900s through the 1940s, which are photographs printed on postcard backs.

As with sports cards, star power matters, so preserve those Babe Ruths as opposed to images of your great grandma’s baby cousin once-removed. And when it comes to photos, look for old markings on the back, such as photographer, publication and date stamps.

Memorabilia

Set aside old advertising posters depicting sports stars and food, tobacco or sporting goods brands. Ads from magazines aren’t valuable, but those used as store displays and for other marketing purposes can be pricey. Tin signs from the 1960 and earlier can be highly prized, but reproductions aren’t.

Your family’s sporting goods, such as balls, gloves and bats, can be valuable. Pre-1950s uniforms and catcher’s masks, helmets and other equipment are highly collected, especially when endorsed by star players. Top condition brings the highest prices, but even used equipment can be valuable.

“The golden rule is the older the sports card or item, the more valuable it usually is. Pre-1975 pieces start to get interesting and are worth researching,” says Crisafulli.

Don’t just clean out your “junk” this spring, examine it closely to potentialy maximize its value.

Four Local Black Men and Women Honored as Newest Kijana Heroes

Boca Raton, FL – Kijana Educational Empowerment Initiative hosted a reception to honor Black heroes, recognize student winners of an inaugural Black History Month writing contest, and raise funds for its educational facility being built in Kenya. The event took place at the North Palm Beach Country Club on Thursday, February 23, 2023. 10 new Kijana Heroes were unveiled by artist Claire Salmon, including four from Palm Beach County: Cinthia Becton, F. Malcolm Cunningham, Sr., Eva Williams Mack, and Solomon David Spady.

Kijana, a nonprofit founded by lifelong educator Jim Cummings, operates in North Palm Beach and in Kenya–promoting and cultivating youth empowerment through educational development, cross-cultural dialogue, and sustainable and environmentally-friendly economic growth, among American school communities and under-served Kenyan school communities. Around 90 guests enjoyed drinks and food from Farmer’s Table while learning about Kijana and the future of global collaboration.

Kijana teamed up with local Palm Beach County resident and graphic artist, Claire Salmon, to develop the “Kijana Heroes” poster series which leading up to the reception comprised 50 historical and contemporary Black men and women who have shared their wisdom and example by their change-making actions. The full series was on display at the event, and 10 never-before-seen Kijana Heroes were unveiled. In addition to Becton, Cunningham, Mack, and Spady, the other pathbreaking figures added to the ranks of being named Kijana Heroes included: Jackie Robinson, Kofi Annan, Ngugi wa Thiongo, Julius Nyerere, Tegla Loroupe, and Ebby Shiroya.

Becton and Shiroya were both present and humbly surprised to receive the recognition.

“I’m in awe of their accomplishments and I’m humbled to be in a pictured form there, by them,” stated Becton.

Becton taught in Palm Beach County public schools for 32 years, has been instrumental in the community, and today serves as president of the Northside Kiwanis Club. Shiroya lives on-the-ground in Kenya and serves as Kijana Global Innovation School Managing Director.

To encourage educational cross-cultural development and raise awareness of Black individuals who have ‘lit the way’ intellectually, socially, and culturally, Kijana provided local schools, libraries, and other public spaces with the opportunity to display the series of posters throughout Black History Month. The grassroots organization facilitated the teaching and learning by launching a student essay/poetry competition open to all middle and high school students in Palm Beach County and select partner schools outside of the county. Close to 100 students entered the contest, and 14 finalists were recognized at the reception.

The Kijana Heroes poster series distribution, displays, and essay contest were made possible by the generosity of Stephanie & John Pew, Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, and Arcadia Books of Spring Green, WI.

The evening also served as a springboard for local capital campaign support to build a multi-purpose educational facility, inclusive of a media center and amphitheater, at Kijana Global Innovation School in Western Kenya. The campaign goal is to raise $500,000 to build the facility and add classrooms, technological resources, books, a dining area, increased staff, sports fields, and a playground to the existing campus that currently has an enrollment of 172 students, serving pre-k through eighth-grade classes. Kijana School aims to graduate its first high school class in 2026.

Hanley Foundation’s Annual Golf Classic Swings for Scholarships

West Palm Beach, FL – Hanley Foundation’s 24th Annual Golf Classic will tee off on Monday, April 17, 2023, at Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach. More than 100 Hanley Foundation supporters are expected to come together for this year’s tournament to raise money and awareness for the Lifesaver Scholarship Program, which provides financial scholarships for individuals struggling with substance use disorders.

Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. The tournament is a shamble format with 18 holes of competitive play. Refreshments and activities will be offered on the course, and a luncheon, silent auction and awards presentation will follow tournament play.

ley Foundation and our mission to eliminate addiction through prevention, advocacy, treatment, and recovery support,” said Turner Benoit, Hanley Foundation’s Chief Philanthropy Officer. “We all know someone that has struggled with addiction – whether it be a spouse, parent, friend, or colleague. There are so many people that need assistance obtaining quality treatment. That is why the event proceeds will go towards our Lifesaver Scholarship Program.”

There will be prizes for “Lowest Gross” score and “Lowest Net” score, along with other raffles and contests on the course.

Unparalleled to anything in rural Western Kenya, the new facility will provide access to contemporary resources and technology, enabling students and educators in Kenya and here in the U.S. to connect with each other.

Cummings believes: “Human society suffers as significant human capital is underutilized and unfulfilled by our traditional socio-economic and global educational systems. The inaugural Kijana Global Innovation School invests creatively and energetically in this underutilized global human capital, improving our collective global well-being. Their expanded opportunity will be the world’s gain as these young people fulfill their academic, social, and creative promise, becoming positive world change-makers.”

Another benefit of this project is that the economic opportunity will stay in the region. New York architects Harpreet Dhaliwal and Chris Dameron are playing a central role in the planning and development of the contemporary structure with their commitment to voluntary (pro-bono) guidance and support from start to finish. They are working with people on the ground in Kenya to make something that can be inspirational and realistically buildable with maximum impact. The resources and materials will be purchased locally in Kenya and the building will create opportunities for local craftsmen to work.

For more information on the Kijana Heroes poster series or the Kijana School or to provide financial support, visit kijana.org.

Invited celebrity guests include rockstar drummers Tico Torres, Nicko McBrain and Carmine Appice, along with NFL legend Lawrence Taylor, professional baseball player Rick Cerrone, and actor Kevin Sorbo.

Event co-chairpersons are Ira Fenton and Sherrye Sammons-Fenton, and Rob Thomson.

“With community support of our Lifesaver Scholarship Program, hope will be restored, families will be reunited, and lives will be saved,” Rachel Pappert Docekal, MBA, Ed.D., Hanley Foundation’s CEO said.

In 2022, Hanley Foundation provided more than 400 individuals in need with scholarships for quality treatment and care.

Six Named to Palm Beach County 2023 Woman of Impact Class

Lynn

student uses metaverse technology to promote equitable learning

When most students focus on acing term papers and landing internships, Lynn University student Zach Hirsch, class of 2024, is busy building his digital empire. At just 21 years old, the junior is a social influencer with over 2 million Instagram followers, podcaster, sports analyst and co-founder of Mozverse—a web development platform specializing in blockchain technology and Web3 integration.

West Palm Beach, FL – Six prominent local women will help advance heart health and raise lifesaving funds to fight their No. 1 health threat with the American Heart Association, devoted to a world of healthier lives for all, as members of its Palm Beach County 2023 Woman of Impact class. In a related program, local teen Eva Vukusich is Palm Beach County’s first Teen of Impact.

Each year a select group of individuals across Palm Beach County are nominated by their peers to become an American Heart Association Woman of Impact nominee because of their passion and drive to make a difference in the community and raise awareness of women’s cardiovascular health.

“Cardiovascular disease remains our No. 1 killer so it’s vital for all women to take charge of their heart health and encourage others to do the same,” said Ashley Vertuno, CEO of HCA Florida JFK North Hospital and Chair of the 2023 Go Red for Women movement in Palm Beach County. “While we’ve made some great strides over the years, we still have a long way to go. For example, American Heart Association surveys have found younger generations of women, Gen Z and Millennials, are less likely than prior generations to be aware that cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat.1 We must raise our voices for all ages and stages of life and make sure all Palm Beach County women know how to take steps now to protect our heart later.”

Palm Beach County’s 2023 Woman of Impact Nominees are:

Collette Cattafi, Director of Emergency Services, Behavior Health Intake, & Addiction Stabilization Unit at JFK North Medical Center

Jyrece McClendon, Interim Dean of Academic Affairs at Palm Beach State College

Shenetria Moore, Owner of SHE Holdings

Iliana Rentz, Head of Vegetation Management for NextEra Energy

Thais R. Sullivan, Senior Vice President at Valley Bank

Maya Asha Underwood, Medical Educator at Palm Beach County School District

For the first time, the American Heart Association Palm Beach County also has a Teen of Impact: 18-year-old Palm Beach County resident Eva Vukusich. Vukusich will be using her personal experience of witnessing her dad having a heart attack to spread awareness for heart disease.

“By using their influence, their local networks and their unique lived experiences, these volunteers are able to make a measurable difference in our community and we are

so grateful for each of them,” said Grasford W. Smith, Partner at Akerman LLP and Chairman of the American Heart Association Palm Beach County Board of Directors. “Woman of Impact truly embodies the power of coming together to create important and lasting change for good.”

Woman of Impact is an extension of the American Heart Association’s long-standing Go Red for Women movement, a comprehensive platform designed to increase women’s heart health awareness and serve as a catalyst for change to improve the lives of women globally.

While most cardiac events can be prevented, cardiovascular disease continues to take the lives of 1 in 3 women in Palm Beach County and nationwide. According to 2019 data from the Florida Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 34.9% of adult women in Palm Beach County reported having hypertension and 5% reported having had a heart attack.

Beginning on National Wear Red Day, Feb. 3, 2023, hundreds of Woman of Impact nominees nationwide embarked on a 9-week journey to help transform the health of women. Each week, nominees and their Impact Teams, made up of friends or family members, participate in activities designed to create a culture of wellness and health equity. Activities include educational events, learning and spreading the word about CPR, getting active, recruiting women to participate in research, and more. Nominees and their Impact Teams also raise critical funds for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement in Palm Beach County.

On April 19 at the Palm Beach County Go Red for Women Luncheon at the Pelican Club in Jupiter, the woman whose team has the highest number of impact points— awarded through a combination of fundraising and mission impact activities —is named Palm Beach County’s 2023 Woman of Impact Award Winner. The nominee with the most points nationwide will be named the National Woman of Impact Award Winner.

The American Heart Association Palm Beach County serves the residents of Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. Sponsors and volunteers assist the organization in guiding efforts to reduce incidences of heart disease and stroke, the Nos. 1 and 5 leading killers, respectively, of American men and women.

At Mozverse, Hirsch is focused on the future of the metaverse. As he creates fully immersive virtual worlds for his clients, he imagines how entertainment and retail industries will create elevated consumer experiences online.

“Just like we went from Web1 to Web2, Web3 is the next wave,” Hirsch said. “People are becoming aware of what it can do. I predict we will see a full transition within five years.”

Through hard work and vision, he’s positioned Mozverse as the Web3 version of Amazon Web Services (AWS), featured in Forbes and Business Insider as a leading platform to immerse startups and tech companies in the metaverse.

I was going to wait to start my business, but everyone around me encouraged me to start now. It’s never too early to launch your career, especially when combined with what you learn while in college.Zach Hirsch, class of 2024

Now, he wants to bring students along for the ride. In addition to cultivating a comprehensive space for NFTs, cryptocurrencies and blockchains, Hirsch has partnered with Ali Kaufman, CEO of Space of Mind, to build a virtual K-12 school within the metaverse. Hirsch’s “learn to earn” platform incentivizes students to continue their education by offering prizes or the chance to earn money. Hirsch hopes low-income and marginalized students will feel compelled to graduate by creating a space where academia and careers collide.

“Today’s kids are producing a great amount of quality art and the virtual world can help them earn money while in school,” Hirsch said. “For students from disadvantaged backgrounds, the ability to leverage NFTs to earn an income could mean they could break the cycle of generational poverty for their families.”

Hirsch’s foray into tech development wasn’t that different from what he hopes to create for today’s students. His interest in virtual reality was sparked while playing VRChat and watching the movie Ready Player One with his brother. The budding technophile quickly applied his programming skills into the world of sports betting, earning the title of the most accurate sports handicapper in the history of college football. It also helped him earn money for college.

Three years ago, Hirsch enrolled in Lynn’s sports management program. He has since segued to online delivery to help balance his course load with his professional endeavors, and he often applies his class work to his role at Mozverse. Hirsch also regularly leans on his professors for advice on career moves, creating achievable business plans and networking with the right contacts.

“I was going to wait to start my business, but everyone around me encouraged me to start now,” he said. “It’s never too early to launch your career, especially when combined with what you learn while in college.”

While Hirsch continues to build his professional identity, the young entrepreneur has embraced Lynn’s commitment to global stewardship, social responsibility, lifelong volunteerism and engaged activism. He was particularly inspired by Be Like Brit, a charity held near and dear by the Lynn community. Determined to make a difference, Hirsch traveled to Haiti with Space of Mind to serve the education system and build homes for underprivileged families. In a recent visit to New York, he was recognized by Les Couleurs Charity with a certificate of honor for his contributions.

“He’s the real deal and he doesn’t forget where he came from,” said Kaufman. “He’s wildly successful, yet still the same person.”

With such high ambitions, there’s no telling where Hirsch’s journey will take him next. Whether he’s recording a hit podcast with rap legend and 2023 Grammy performer Jadakiss, creating content for his active social media audience or advocating for quality education worldwide, Hirsch continues to recognize his potential and take on every opportunity and challenge that comes his way.

two of us on the run by Steve McMahon

J and C are bored small town American teenage girls who go on the run to find the ‘real’ America and themselves. They procrastinate and fantasize about the best way to run away from home, debate the fundamentals of feminism and what to do once they’ve left home and hit the road. On the open road, reality and fantasy blur. They rob banks, make bombs and discuss sexual, class and gender politics. They meet Brian, an enigmatic bartender, leading

to a conclusion where they might fall in love, might commit acts of terror, might kill people, or might just breathe in the night air and decide to go home.

Steve McMahon is a Scottish actor and writer based between Edinburgh and Florida. He has been longlisted for the Theatre 503 Playwriting Award and a semi-finalist for the Eugene O’Neill Playwrights Conference. He has performed with the National Theatre of Scotland, Adirondack Shakespeare Company and Bard in the Botanics, and his plays have been produced or developed by Origin Theatre Company, Traverse Theatre Company, Fundamental Theater Project, Nylon Fusion, Village Pub Theatre, The Arctic Group, IRT Theater, Bridge Street Theatre, NYC Fridge Fest and Strange Town. He trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City where he co-founded and edited The Dionysian playwriting magazine and the Caffe Cino theatre book series.

love is hard and absolutely (probably) worth it by Johnny G. Lloyd

Tom’s a former dancer. Vaughn’s a (current) painter. Vaughn and Tom are dating. They’ve been dating for a while. Vaughn and Tom have worries. They’re worried about their brothers, their fathers, their mothers, their very adorable pillow pet. And their apartment. Vaughn and Tom live in a very small apartment. Unfortunately, their world is about to get a little bit smaller. But maybe they’ll be able to break out of these four walls and learn new ways to express themselves and express love. Maybe. Set in the doldrums of 2020, love is hard and absolutely (probably) worth it is a meditation on brotherhood, fatherhood, sonhood, generational legacies, race, politics, and what it means to build something with a person you love in spite of all of the above.

Feeding South Florida® Announces its Fourth Annual “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition Starting on March 1

Feeding South Florida®, the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida, is excited to announce its Fourth Annual “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition. Elementary, middle, and high school students throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties are invited to participate for the opportunity to have their artwork displayed on one of Feeding South Florida’s semi-trailer truck wrap – a 36-foot moving billboard that travels throughout South Florida.

The art competition is part of Feeding South Florida’s “Summer Hunger Ends Here” initiative, designed to raise the awareness and funds necessary to end summer hunger for kids in South Florida. It’s aimed to engage students, their parents, teachers, and schools in a critical issue, while also recognizing and spotlighting the talent in our community.

Summer months are some of the most difficult times for South Florida families because when school is not in session, kids don’t have access to free or reduced-price school meals. In South Florida alone, more than 300,000 kids rely on free or reduced meals during the school year.

Seeking to help fill the void of school meals, Feeding South Florida is a proud sponsor of the USDA Summer Food Service Program, providing meals to kids at Summer BreakSpots, pop-up pantries in low-income communities. Feeding South Florida also assists families at its Community Caring Centers, food pantries, along with other services at both warehouse locations.

Palm Beach Atlantic University Honors Local Philanthropists, Rising Leaders at 2023 Women of Distinction Luncheon

“Participating in the art competition allows students the opportunity to showcase their artistic abilities while raising awareness about the critical issue of hunger in kids throughout South Florida,” said Paco Vélez, president and CEO of Feeding South Florida. “When school is out for summer, kids of all ages are impacted as they no longer have access to free or reduced meals, leaving them hungry as their family struggles to find additional resources for food.”

The first-place winner will be awarded:

Artwork is displayed as a truck wrap on a 36-foot tractor/trailer that travels throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties.

Artwork prominently displayed at Feeding South Florida’s Pembroke Park warehouse.

Announcement on social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Please visit https://feedingsouthflorida.org/events/ for more information, including the competition toolkit, key dates, additional awards, and how to submit final artwork online.

All artwork will be displayed during a Gallery Night on Wednesday, May 17, where winners will also be announced. The truck reveal celebration will be held at the school of the first-place winner. Press is invited to both events.

Sponsorships and in-kind donations are available. For more information, contact Kimberly Heimiller at 954-518-1818 x1856 or kheimiller@feedingsouthflorida.org.

Palm Beach Atlantic University recently celebrated its annual Women of Distinction luncheon at The Breakers Palm Beach, honoring philanthropists Mary Fairbanks Freitas and Monika Preston for their leadership and community contributions to Palm Beach County.

More than 300 guests attended the celebration on Tuesday, Feb. 21. The event was chaired by Frances Fisher.

The Women of Distinction luncheon continues the rich tradition of honoring women in leadership who cherish community and family and want to preserve these ideals for others. This year’s luncheon was among the highest grossing events in Palm Beach Atlantic University history. Proceeds raise scholarship funds for female students who demonstrate outstanding academics, service and leadership. This year, recipients represented four states and five majors:

Faith Bebber, a freshman from Vero Beach, Florida, studying nursing

Claire Creecy, a junior from Denton, Texas, studying cinema arts

Mariyah Fletcher, a junior from McDonough, Georgia, studying pre-law

Katherine Lopez, a senior from Miami, Florida, studying exercise science

Faith McNally, a freshman from Taylor, Michigan, studying nursing

Gabriela Portillo, a senior from Houston Texas, studying psychology

“At PBA, we cherish the tradition of celebrating women who have impacted Palm Beach County and beyond,” said President Dr. Debra A. Schwinn. “Monika and Mary have pursued excellence, exemplified service and demonstrated integrity throughout their careers and civic responsibilities— reflecting the same values that PBA holds dear. Their actions also inspire and help create opportunities for future women leaders, including our scholarship recipients. Each woman at the luncheon is instrumental in a brighter future.”

Mary Fairbanks Freitas holds a bachelor’s degree in media communication from Florida State University. She worked in radio and television for WPTV and radio stations WRMF and WJNO during and after completing her studies. Through the Mark and

Mary Freitas Foundation, she supports many causes affecting those in need—including Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County, Town of Palm Beach United Way, Nat King Cole Generation Hope and Best Buddies International.

During the luncheon, Fairbanks Freitas talked about giving back to the community and serving those less fortunate.

“It’s rewarding to be part of such a generous community, which you all play such a big role in,” she said. “I have found great joy in giving back… Thanks to generous neighbors and all of you here today, we’re able to offer a helping hand and better the lives of those in need.”

Fairbanks Freitas is also a trustee of Town of Palm Beach United Way, Cox Science Center and Aquarium, Rosarian Academy and Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, a board member of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County and Boys & Girls Clubs, and a founding member of the Palm Beach Police Foundation’s Council of 100 and the Kravis Center.

Monika Preston was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and grew up in Ontario, Canada. She met her husband at the University of Guelph, and moved to Palm Beach County in 1991. Preston chaired the American Heart Association Ball in 2019 and has been a cochair for several years. She also co-chaired the Palm Beach Police & Fire Foundation Ball with her husband.

“I quickly realized that giving back to this welcoming community was beyond special,” Preston said while sharing her story, including how she became an equestrian. “Almost 30 years ago, I found myself on a horse. Horses teach you a lot about yourself: You practice being accepting, patient, disciplined, compassionate and competitive—all character-building qualities. The art of giving back and finding a personal passion are two things that have made my life so meaningful.”

Preston is vice chair of the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts’ board of directors. She co-chaired the Kravis Center’s annual gala for a number of years, and previously served on the boards of The Benjamin School, Town of Palm Beach United Way, Center for Children in Crises and Stop Children’s Cancer.

Lynn finds invaluable experience with executives and entrepreneurs in residence

Business colleges and schools across the nation infuse executive level experience, knowledge and best practices into curriculums through executive-in-residence programs. Furthermore, these programs offer unique perspectives into students’ learning experiences and opportunities to engage with accomplished professionals from the business community.

Lynn University leadership carefully hand-selects each member of its executive-in-residence program based on matching criteria and the specific needs of the university at a particular point in its academic timeline. Executives can then teach dedicated courses or contribute as guest speakers and share best business practices with students, a philosophy that Executive-in-Residence Jerry Fedele takes particular pride in.

Jerry Fedele, executive-in-residence in front of the Mohamed Indimi International Business Center

Prior to Lynn, Fedele was a lawyer and CEO at large complex health systems in Pennsylvania and Florida. Thanks to his extensive background, Fedele is uniquely qualified to bring real-world experiences to Lynn students.

After retiring in 2019, Lynn asked Fedele to be part of its young executive-in-residence program, and he gladly accepted. Fedele was attracted to the idea that he could connect with and mentor young students that

had clear aspirations to go far in their careers.

“The opportunity sounded really interesting,” said Fedele. “I love to teach and as a former executive, I was confident that I could bring students a different perspective and way of thinking that they are not typically used to seeing.”

Fedele teaches several courses at Lynn, including, strategic management capstone seminars for the MBA program, capstone strategy courses for undergraduate business students and several undergraduate courses.

Professor Fedele truly impacted and influenced my career path. His class opened my eyes and helped me visualize the reality of some topics.Natan Gluck, class of 2023

“In addition to the specific subjects we touch in class, my courses are heavily focused on connecting those academic materials with current events,” said Fedele. “I also speak about everything I have seen in my career that makes people successful. I talk about what they can anticipate in their careers, in terms of success, in terms of failures, and how to make sure that they create the best opportunities for themselves to succeed.”

Fedele’s body of work at Lynn has led to numerous students reaching out to the executive-in-residence outside of the classroom to provide insight and mentorship as they navigate their careers. Throughout his courses, Fedele installs his philosophy for student development and growth: “Jerry’s nine keys to

professional success,” which has paid dividends for students.

“Professor Fedele truly impacted and influenced my career path. His class opened my eyes and helped me visualize the reality of some topics,” said Natan Gluck, a Lynn student working to earn an MBA in financial valuation and investment. “His steps to success and the numerous topics he introduced in our seminar are one of the most valuable

concepts I have learned at Lynn.”

Lynn’s executive- and entrepreneur-in-residence program allows students such as Natan Gluck and executives like Jerry Fedele to learn from each other, grow and develop an academic foundation for future students.

Lynn currently holds two additional members as executives and entrepreneurs in residence.

Funcamps celebrates its 26th anniversary this summer in Boca Raton

Funcamps celebrates its 26th anniversary this summer in Boca Raton with more than 7,000 campers that have learned invaluable skills that will last a lifetime.

This summer, Funcamps (www.funcamps.com) is injecting even more fun STEM activities as it enjoys its second year at its new state-of-the-art facility at Florida Atlantic University. Space, Science, Jurassic, MagiCamp, and the newest masterpiece, FunArts camp, will all be offered at FAU.

Parents send their children again and again not just because of the fun experience, but for the relationships and skills campers cultivate each summer.

Campers just don’t make slime, they learn about its components and the science being polymers and the different states of matter. Campers don’t just learn magic tricks, but how to perform in front of a live audience.

“Funcamps has been a part of my life for 12 years, and in addition to having a blast every summer, it’s taught me confidence and how to perform in front of an audience,” said Harrison Melull, an Olympic Heights High graduate and former camper and counselor. “Funcamps has helped teach me responsibility and how to manage kids in addition to learning how to be a magician.”

A big attraction for the Space, Science and Jurassic camps is the embodiment of STEM skills. STEM develops creators, thinkers, problem solvers, doers, innovators, and inventors. Exposing kids to simple STEM activities at an early age today sets a foundation for higher learning tomorrow.

MagiCamp is actually the impetus of Funcamps, programs which offer a fun and

creative approach to the world of day camps. From Space and Rocket Camp and Amazing Science Camp to JurassicCamp to Camp Idol, to FunArts, Funcamps has a program for everyone. With these specialty programs, founder David Gindy has created a STEMfilled journey proven to be a winning formula.

Funcamps will be following all Local, ACA, and University protocols during the summer.

“Our goal is to provide our campers with the highest standards of care, personal training, and a well-structured curriculum,” said Gindy, of Miami.

Gindy’s Camps will be held in the FAU Student Union’s Conference Center with newly updated rooms and even the use of the new Esports center and sport fields.

Founder Gindy dreamed up a summer camp experience like no other 30 years ago with his first program, MagiCamp. The overall success of MagiCamp has been accomplished by creating a one-of-a-kind magic program for children of all ages and skill levels (represented by different color wands and wide arrays of tricks).

Children master magic tricks in MagiCamp, which over the 34 years, has expanded to half-a-dozen locations from Miami to Boca Raton.

“We‘re excited this summer to bring the magic once again to our campers,” Gindy said. “Through our Unique MagiCamp program, where the campers not only learn the magic they become the Magic! To our Amazing Science and Space Camp which brings a fun and exciting approach to learning STEM-related activities. From making slime to solar panels

and motors or entering our very own Space planetarium and launching rockets that they made the children will delve into the many facets of Science & Space.”

Once campers master the magic, they receive their graduation wand and create a little Hocus Pocus themselves. The best part is that they get to take home the illusions so that they are able to amaze their family and friends. MagiCamp unlocks the secrets of magic and illusion for children of all ages, and — along their magical journey — children also build confidence, self-esteem, and hand-eye coordination.

“I run into adults all the time that tell me that the program built their confidence and helped them overcome public speaking and gave them skills that still help them today,” Gindy said. “It’s really touching to hear.”

Amazing Space and Science Camp: Children (ages 5-13) not only learn about the many facets of science but get to become real

life scientists, doing amazing science experiments daily. For those who dream of being an astronaut; children learn about the world of Space, Astronomy and rocketry; have astronaut training, and even build and launch their own rockets with their counselors.

JurassiCamp: A unique experience for future paleontologists; children (ages 5-12) learn about the world of Dinosaurs and even get to be paleontologists themselves participating in fossil digs where they even get to keep the real fossils they discover.

FunArts: Painting & Drawing, Printmaking, Ceramics & Hand Crafts, staffed by talented teaching artists. FunArts is designed for artists of all levels, from beginners to the true young artists.

FUNCAMPS is one of the top creators of unique children’s programming in the nation, which has been featured by major networks and publications; including but not limited to: CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, Disney Family, The Miami Herald, Sun-Sentinel, Parenting Magazine, and Family Magazine, and has received numerous national awards and praise.

“Parents choose our programs not only for the uniqueness of the specialty programs but also because they know that the campers will have fun in a safe and secure environment,” Gindy said. “Our programming is ACA accredited so our staff and camper ratio and the program design are sure to please both our campers and parents.”

For more information contact David Gindy at 305-742-8611 and to see videos of children performing and learning magic visit www.FUNCAMPS.com

May & Davis Earn Major Awards as FAU Hauls in All-C-USA Honors

game to rank third on the Owls. A dynamic scoring threat, Martin has led the Owls in points in nine games this year, which is the most on the team, and he has scored 10 points or more in 18 games this season.

Martin had an incredible sixgame stretch in February, hitting double digits in every game while averaging 17.1 points per game during that span. He came up huge in the overtime win over Louisiana Tech on Feb. 11, scoring a season-high 26 points on a red-hot 7-of-10 shooting and 6-of-8 from 3-point range.

Conference USA announced its major award winners and all-conference teams for the 2022-23 men’s basketball season on Tuesday. The Florida Atlantic University men’s basketball team was well-represented after an incredible campaign in which the Owls went 28-3, 18-2 in conference play and earned the regular season C-USA Championship.

FAU head coach Dusty May was selected as Conference USA Coach of the Year to lead the Owls. Johnell Davis was tabbed as Sixth Player of the Year and was chosen First Team All-C-USA. Joining Davis on the First Team was Alijah Martin, and Vladislav Goldin rounded out the Owl honors with a Third Team All-C-USA selection.

May has led the Owls to the greatest season in Florida Atlantic history, accomplishing a tremendous amount of feats that have never been done at FAU. The Owls captured the C-USA regular season title, marking the program’s first in Conference USA history and first championship since the A-SUN regular-season title in 2010-11. May led his Owls to the program’s first Top 25 ranking ever, ascending as high as No. 19 in the AP poll and No. 20 in the USA Today Coaches poll.

The 28 wins are the most in school history, breaking the old record of 21. The 18 C-USA wins are not only a school record but are also a Conference USA record. The Owls rattled off an incredible 20-game winning streak, which doubled the FAU record and is the third-longest in C-USA history. FAU also went a perfect 17-0 at home and has the third-longest home winning streak in the nation. May’s Owls are the No. 1 seed in the Conference USA Championship Tournament.

“To win Coach of the Year, you have to have a great team and a connected group that works hard and makes sacrifices for each other and the program,” May said. “As far as the Coach of the Year award, it’s a tribute to the assistants, support staff, strength coaches – everyone who contributes to the holistic development of our players on a daily basis. My name is on the award, but I’m one of many who tries to impact these guys every day.”

Johnell Davis has put forward an exceptional breakout year for Florida Atlantic. Davis is the Owls’ leading scorer with an average of 13.2 points per game, despite coming off the bench in 21 out of his 29 appearances. The Gary, Indiana product is also ranked second

on the squad in rebounding with an average of 5.2 boards per game while leading the team in steals with 37.

Davis is shooting an efficient 49% from the field and 41.0% from 3-point range. His numbers even increase in Conference USA action, as he is averaging 15.8 points per game with six rebounds per game in C-USA play. A consistent producer, Davis has recorded double figures in 19 games.

These are the first career conference honors for Davis and the first major award winner for FAU since Xavian Stapleton was CoSixth Man of the Year in 2018-19. It is only the fourth major conference award winner in FAU history.

“Much like three of his teammates, Nelly was very deserving of this award,” May said. “He sacrificed his starting spot and everything that comes with that for the good of the team. I’m very proud of his energy, and the production that he brought when he came into the game made an immediate impact every night.”

Alijah Martin earns his second consecutive all-conference honor after another terrific season for the Owls. He is averaging 12.6 points per game, which is second on the team along with 5.3 boards per

“After last season, our goal and expectation for Alijah was to improve enough to become a First Team player, and he did just that,” May said. “He battled some injuries early season and didn’t get off to a great start, so this award is first and foremost about the respect that he’s garnered by the way he plays the game. Moving from Third Team to First Team is a tribute to Alijah’s work ethic and improvement in all facets of the game.”

Vladislav Goldin has enjoyed a breakout season as the Owls’ starting center. He is averaging 10.9 points per game and a team-leading 6.5 rebounds per game. Goldin has been a major presence in the paint with a team-leading 34 blocks, which ranks seventh in C-USA.

Goldin is the only Owl to start and play in each of FAU’s 31 games this season. Goldin has recorded eight or more rebounds in eight games. The Nalchick, Russia native’s numbers even increase in Conference USA games, as Goldin is averaging 11.1 points and 7.1 rebounds in C-USA action. His 7.1 boards per game in C-USA action is good for fifth in the conference. Goldin also is shooting an incredibly efficient 64.5% from the field to lead the team.

“Vlad would have to be the most improved player in the league from last year to this year,” May said. “He’s improved defensively, he’s changed his body, he’s improved offensively – it’s night and day compared to last year. He impacts the game and our team on so many levels, and he’s very deserving of this all-conference award.”

Coach May Named Finalist for Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award

Florida Atlantic University head men’s basketball coach Dusty May has been named a finalist for the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award.

The Jim Phelan Award, which is presented annually to the nation’s top Division I coach, is named in honor of a legendary bow-tied coach who spent his entire career at Mount Saint Mary’s University. May is one of 20 finalists for this year’s award.

May, who was named Conference USA Coach of the Year, led the Owls to an incredible 202223 campaign, the best season in FAU’s history. Heading into the C-USA Championship Tournament, the Owls are 28-3, the most wins by far in a season in FAU history. The Owls captured the outright regular season Conference USA Championship, for

the first time in C-USA history and first title for the program since the A-SUN regular season championship in 2010-11. May led his Owls to the program’s first Top 25 ranking ever, ascending as high as No. 19 in the AP poll and No. 20 in the USA Today Coaches poll.

Not only has May made school history, but his accomplishments have also broken Conference USA records. FAU’s 18 C-USA wins a single-season conference record. The Owls rattled off an incredible 20-game winning streak, which doubled the FAU record and is the third-longest in C-USA history. FAU also went a perfect 17-0 at home and currently has the third-longest home winning streak in the nation.

Top-Seeded Owls Set for Conference USA Tournament

After a historic regular season in which the Florida Atlantic University men’s basketball team went 28-3, the Owls have set their sights on the Conference USA Championship Tournament. The C-USA tourney begins on March 9 for the top-seeded Owls. FAU will await the winner of UTEP and WKU, and the Owls’ quarterfinal game will be at 5:30 p.m. central at The Star in Frisco, Texas. The game will be broadcasted on ESPN+.

The Owls earned the top seed and regular season conference title after an incredible 18-2 run in C-USA, which is the most conference wins in a season in the league’s history.

The Owls shattered the single-season FAU record for wins with 28, topping the previous mark of 21.

FAU is the top seed for the first time in the school’s 10-year history in C-USA.

The Owls were well-represented on the all-conference teams, led by head coach Dusty May‘s honor in being named C-USA Coach of the Year.

Johnell Davis was selected as Sixth Player of the Year, marking the Owls’ first major award winner since 2018-19. Davis also landed on the All-C-USA First Team.

Joining Davis on the First team was backcourt mate Alijah Martin, and Owl center Vladislav Goldin earned Third Team All-C-USA honors.

The Owls swept both the Hilltoppers and the Miners in the regular-season series, defeating WKU by scores of 76-62 and 70-63 and UTEP by scores of 67-59 and 75-49.

Much of FAU’s success this season has been a credit to the Owls’ depth, with three players averaging double figures in scoring (Davis 13.2, Martin 12.6, Goldin 10.9) and two more averaging at least nine (Michael Forrest 9.6, Nick Boyd 9.2).

Regularly using a nine or 10-man rotation, the Owls have nine players averaging 15 or more minutes a game.

The Owls have displayed unselfish basketball throughout the season, registering more assists than their opponents in 27 of the 31 games, in which FAU owns a 25-2 record.

Winning the rebounding battle has also been a common trend, with FAU out-rebounding its opponents in 23 games, in which the Owls are 23-0.

FAU set its single season record for 3-pointers made with 314 treys, breaking last year’s record of 299.

Boyd is FAU’s leading 3-point shooter with a clip of 43.1% from beyond the arc, while Davis is shooting the long ball at a 41% mark.
