COMMUNITY

Two Local Centenarians Honored at D-Day Services in Normandy

Boca Raton, FL – Treasure Coast residents Sydney Edson and Ray Glansberg have both celebrated a lot of milestones in their first century. Both served in World War II, and it’s safe to say that neither man ever expected to be going back to Omaha Beach in Normandy and the site of the most terrifying day of their lives – D-Day, 1944. Yet the pair have joined dozens of other World War II veterans, nearly all of them also over 100 years-old, to honor the memory of their fellow soldiers who also stormed the beach on that historic day and never came home.

The very somber and special pilgrimage to France is part of a gift courtesy of American Airlines’ Old Glory Honor Flight, and both Edson (100) and Glansberg (102) are making the trip, along with 66 other World War II veterans, as Honor Flight veterans. Southeast Florida Honor Flight and the community typically pull together a ginormous Operation Homecoming which lines the airport with thousands of community members, family, and neighbors to welcome its Honor Flight veterans home four times each year. The American Airlines D-Day Memorial Honor Flight includes veterans from throughout the United States who were selected because of their service during the battle that began at Omaha Beach.

The oldest veteran on the trip is 107 years-old, and the youngest is 98.

Eight decades after the historic mission, the veterans were chosen to participate in the very special flight, which also includes six Medal of Honor Winners from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam, and two “Rosie the Riveters,” who worked in US manufacturing facilities and shipyards while the mostly-male soldiers were away serving on the front

lines. Each veteran is accompanied by a local volunteer who serves as his guardian and focuses all attention and care on the veteran throughout the journey. At each stop in the multi-day mission, veterans have been greeted warmly by citizens, dignitaries, and even current and former Presidents.

While being interviewed by USA Today, Edson recalled going to his bomber on D-Day. “My God,” he

thought just before he climbed into his plane. “Today is the day. We were hoping it would help the soldiers invading all of the beaches,” recalls the Lake Worth resident.

Edson, a welder in Brooklyn before being drafted into the Air Force in 1943, worked as a radio operator and a gunner in a B-24 Liberator as part of Bomb Squadron 491. In the interview, he shared that he doesn’t remember much about the flight to France on D-Day because he was so focused on performing his duties. However, he also doubled as a gunner and be prepared to operate the plane’s machine guns if the need arose.

To learn more about Southeast Florida Honor Flight and how you can become involved as a volunteer or to donate to the next flight, please visit www.honorflightsefl.org today.

“We know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love . . . because God’s perfect love drives out fear.”

1 John 4:16, 18 (NCV)

I’ve talked to hundreds of people about why they don’t fully trust God. Usually it’s one of three things: People are afraid that if they give their lives fully to God, they’ll lose their freedom, they’ll lose their fun, or God will turn them into some kind of religious fanatic.

None of that sounds inviting!

By Rick Warren

God’s Answer for Your Fear

The bottom line is, people are afraid. We’re afraid to trust God completely. Yet God has an answer for our fear of trusting him. The Bible says, “We know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love . . . because God’s perfect love drives out fear” (1 John 4:16, 18 NCV).

God loves you. You were created as an act of his love. Over and over in the Bible, God makes this clear. God thought you up and created you to love you and to let you love him.

The greatest expression of God’s love is Jesus. God came to earth in the

form of a human being to show us what he is really like. He then showed us how much he loved us by dying on the cross.

The cross tells us once and for all that we can fully trust God. We can trust him with our lives because he gave his Son’s life for us.

If God is telling the truth in his Word that he loves you, then you know he won’t take away your freedom or your fun or turn you into a fanatic.

God isn’t a cosmic killjoy. He’s your heavenly Father.

By PHILIP STRUBLE

The more you know God, the more you trust him. Why? Because you’ll see all around you—in his Word, in your life, and in the world he created—all the evidence of how much he loves you. And as your love for him grows, your fear will diminish.

What scares you the most about fully trusting God?

How have you seen fear get in the way of someone’s faith in God?

Why do you think understanding God’s love helps you trust him more?

The post God’s Answer for Your Fear appeared first on Pastor Rick’s Daily Hope.

A Much-Needed Fresh Leadership Perspective

Entrepreneurs and small business owners – even leaders at midsize and large companies – tend to suffer from the same problem: They want to control all the decisions at their company. Bosses are often under the impression they have achieved their standing today due to their excellent decision-making skills.

While this may be true to a certain extent, if we only ever consider your own perspective, we will miss out on some excellent ideas and solutions. Fresh perspectives almost always come from listening to others. Actively seeking support from people who think differently brings fresh energy to our issues. This applies to product design, company operations, and just about everything else that involves decision-making.

Here are several advantages to listening to others:

Becoming more objective – It is easy to create an echo chamber if we only listen to our partners and keep

making decisions as always (status quo).

Reassessing our points of view –There may be things we take for granted – when they are actually just our opinions. Someone challenging those beliefs can reveal new possibilities.

Breaking old habits – Inviting fresh perspectives into our decision-making can mix things up and push us to take risks that will benefit our business in the long run.

Benefiting from experience – ideas from outside our areas of expertise can bring some of the most creative solutions.

Developing flexibility – Forcing ourselves to try something new pushes us out of our comfort zones and requires us to become flexible.

Creating leaders – Actively asking employees for their opinions lets them know we want to hear from them.

Focusing on what matters – Taking a step back and asking others their thoughts will allow us to see everything in a new light.

In the Bible it says, “The commandment of the LORD is pure, en-

lightening the eyes” (Psalm 19:8). Perspective is like looking through a lens through which we see. We are familiar with being on a hilltop, surveying the surrounding landscape, and getting a better perspective of how different landmarks relate to each other. Similarly, we each have a position – a perspective – from which we view life.

That perspective may be defined as our understanding of the relative importance of things. Our perspective will affect how we perceive and respond to the world around us; it influences our attitudes toward relationships, work, money, and life itself. Others can sharpen our perspectives.

Jesus referred to the importance of having a healthy perspective. In His famous Sermon on the Mount, He challenged His listeners’ understanding, giving them a new way of looking at many aspects of life. He stated, “The eye is the light of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of dark-

ness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness” (Matthew 6:22-23). The way we see things is not just important – it is critical.

But how will we know if our perspective is healthy, as Jesus said? If individual circumstances can influence our perspective, we can benefit from others who see things differently. Beyond that, we have God’s Word as a guide. King David of Israel wrote about God’s Word as giving direction and clarity of vision in our lives: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).

Why is B for me the most Beautiful letter in the whole alphaBet? And why does that sweet little insect, the BEE, deliver such a Beastly sting?

Yes, I awoke this morning with Bees buzzing in my mind, both the consonant B’s that bolster and beautify the beginnings of words and sentences and the now missing, beleaguered wild Bees whose wings would brush our air.

The poor Bees are in Big trouble. You can call it a bubble that’s brewing not only in the United States today, but is a global phenomenon, a bellicose blizzard threatening many crops and plants, not to mention the livelihoods of our valiant, but now beleaguered farmers.

Those plundering pirate P’s are waging war on poor Bees. The P’s are the parasites, pesticides and pathogens causing serious decline in our precious bee population.

Also causing our bee bleeding is habitat loss due to another enemy for which I created my heroic champion Planetary Lifeguard to battle, to furiously blow his whistle at–climate change.

Been There, Done That

Are you job hunting after 50 or as a retiree because you need the income? You’re not alone in this. Encore Palm Beach County’s mission is helping job seekers 50+ find reliable employment in their own or another field, and encourage employers to hire older workers.

Encore PBC also gives annual awards to employers who hire experienced employees and have an older workforce. See information below to nominate an employer and support their upcoming awards event.

Here’s Encore PBC founder Rosemary Nixon’s savvy advice for Boca Raton Tribune readers. Don’t hesitate to spread the word if you know someone else who is older and job hunting.

“When people get in touch with me that are looking for work, I tell them we are not a staffing agency, but can connect them with local staffing agencies and age-friendly employers interested in 50+ workers. I direct them to two places on our website, the finding work resources page:

https://www.encorepbc.org/resources-new/resources-to-help-findnew-work/ and the help of a team of HR people that can be found on our home page with a link to fill out an application: https://www.encorepbc.org/

“It has been my experience that 50+ people who go on the major job boards like Indeed or Monster do not get responses to their resume submissions. I’ve been told that it’s because the algorithms screen out older candidates.”

Thanks, Rosemary, and I hope that helps identify companies that welcome job applications from older workers.

To nominate an employer who is already doing that, here’s links for Encore’s 2024 Wisdom & Experience Works for Business awards Sept. 26 at the Airport Hilton in West Palm Beach.

Boca Raton Public Library Presents the Art Exhibit, “Anima Mundi” by Marina Veen

Boca Raton, FL – The Boca Raton Public Library presents a new art exhibit, “Anima Mundi,” by Marina Veen. Ms. Veen, a Ukrainian-American abstract artist, masterfully blends the rich tapestry of her cultural heritage into a vibrant expression of contemporary art. Born in Odessa, Ukraine, she combines the vibrant energy of New York, the artistic spirit of California’s Bay Area and the vivid yet rugged Pacific Northwest nature of Seattle. The realization came during the pandemic – she needed to make a shift from a two-decade career in enterprise technology towards her true calling, creative practice and art making. Ms. Veen’s first group show was in September 2023 at the Macy Gallery at Columbia University in New York City.

In Ms. Veen’s world, art is not just a form, but an action – a verb that encapsulates the essence of being. Her art transcends mere expression; it’s a meditative journey through life’s tapestry, an exploration of love, a commitment to generosity, and a daily reaffirmation of hope

and deliberate living. Her art practice is a sacred space, a sanctuary for introspection and powerful, challenging dialogues with the self. Deeply interested in Art History, her artistic expression spans various mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage. Ms. Veen states, “The canvas is a poignant metaphor for life itself.”

The Boca Raton Public Library provides outstanding library services, resources, and programs that meet the educational, recreational, cultural, and informational needs of the Boca Raton community.

“Anima Mundi”, a free exhibit, will run from July 1, 2024 to August 9, 2024,

Feeding South Florida Reveals Semi-trailer Truck with Winner’s Artwork from The Fifth Annual “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition

Coral Springs, FL – Feeding South Florida – the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida – revealed its semi-trailer truck with the winner’s artwork from The Fifth Annual “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition at Coral Springs Charter School.

Tiffany Castro, an 11th-grade student from Coral Springs Charter School, was named the winner of the annual art competition. Castro’s artwork is now displayed on one of Feeding South Florida’s semi-trailer truck wraps – a 36-foot moving billboard that travels throughout South Florida.

Elementary, middle, and high school students throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties were invited to submit artwork for the Fifth Annual “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition.

Castro was recognized during a gallery night at Feeding South Florida’s Pembroke Park warehouse on May 16 where all the submitted artwork was showcased.

The art competition is part of Feeding South Florida’s “Summer Hunger Ends Here” initiative, designed to raise the awareness and funds necessary to address 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 the artistic talent in the community. Summer months are some of the most difficult times for South Florida families because when school is not in session, children don’t have access to free or reduced-price school meals. In South Florida more than 300,000 kids rely on free or reduced meals during the school year.

Holocaust Survivors Honored by Alpert JFS for Holocaust Survivor Day

Boca Raton, FL – Cities around the world celebrated Holocaust Survivor Day. In our community, Alpert Jewish Family Service (Alpert JFS) commemorated the day by bringing together 100 local Palm Beach County survivors.

Holocaust Survivor Day was created in 2021 to provide survivors with a day of joy and celebration. The day calls on people everywhere to celebrate survivors’ lives, thank survivors for their contributions and their lessons, and respond to help survivors who are in need today.

State Senator Lori Berman presented a Proclamation acknowledging Holocaust Survivor Day on behalf of the State of Florida. She said: “Holocaust Survivor Day is so important because we need to recognize the people that are survivors and we need to recognize all that they’ve been through to make sure we never have a situation like that. I always believe the only way for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing, and today is a day we can show that good people are doing things in the State of Florida to make sure we never have another Holocaust.

Palm Beach County Mayor Maria Sachs’ Administrative Aid presented a Proclamation on behalf of the county as well.

EvaWeiss,AlpertJFSLeadHolocaustCareManagerandCommunityEducation Specialist

Alpert JFS, which hosted the event, provides in home health care services, care coordination, emergency financial assistance, counseling, transportation, respite care, psychiatry and other services to over 200 Holocaust Survivors in Palm Beach County through its Holocaust Survivors Assistant Program.

The event also featured the singing of the USA and Israeli Anthems, entertainment, lunch, and more.

Eva Weiss, Alpert JFS Lead Holocaust Care Manager and Communi-

ty Education Specialist, added: “Today we are here for our fourth annual holocaust celebration event. Particularly in the topsy turvy world that we live in today, where there so many occasions to be sad, to commemorate atrocities and bad things that have happened – not that we shouldn’t remember – but to have one day where we celebrate the courage, and the resilience and the determination of the survivors are we are so fortunate to have with us, is something that is so special. And as so many people have said as we’ve been chatting, we have a feeling of hope.”

Survey Finds Renters Turn to DIY Décor to Give Their Spaces Style

(StatePoint) While it’s normal to feel nervous about moving into your first apartment, it’s also an exciting time to create your own personal haven. Most rentals have lease limitations on what tenants can and can’t do when it comes to painting and decorating, but there are still ways to infuse your own unique aesthetic into a space.

A new survey from Duck brand asked current and former renters about how they made their temporary spots feel like home.

tions to try that make it easy for tenants to refresh their nest.”

A popular renter-friendly DIY project to invite color and pattern into white or neutral areas is using removable adhesives, like the Duck brand Adhesive Shelf Liner, to create a backsplash in the kitchen. In fact, 60% of renters say they have used removable décor, like shelf liner and wallpaper, to infuse personal style into their space.

The survey found that 70% of renters say it’s important for their living space to reflect their personal style and preferences. Although most residents say they are satisfied with the aesthetic of their rentals, respondents still expressed frustration with neutral paint colors and the inability to use nails and screws on the walls. Additionally, 86% of renters have damaged walls trying to use hooks to hang décor, and 62% have made two to three attempts at hanging décor before getting it right.

“We found that personalizing rental spaces, even if they are temporary, is

a top priority for most people, but can feel challenging when you’re on a budget and trying not to cause any damage to walls or surfaces,” says Ashley Luke, senior product manager of Home Solutions at Duck brand. “Luckily, there are a variety of affordable, temporary solu-

Additionally, adding accent pieces around the room, such as a mirror, picture or painting, will make it feel more vibrant. To hang them, choose a tool such as clear, double-sided Duck Max Strength Nano-Grab Gel Tape, which can be used on a variety of surfaces to mount décor. It works in both temporary indoor and outdoor spaces and is removable and reusable.

Don’t Toss Those Old Sneakers. Do This Instead

(StatePoint) If you’re planning to travel this summer, you’re in good company. Eighty-two percent of adults in the United States – that’s more than 212 million people – are planning on doing the same, according to The Vacationer’s summer travel and trends survey. As you pack your bags, it’s also important to prepare your home for your absence. While catching some summer sun, you can help protect your home and possessions using these tools and strategies:

1. Leverage technology: The latest technology can streamline your home security and keep you informed of what’s going on at home. Philips Hue, known for its premium smart lighting, has recently integrated smart home security into its suite of smart home technology with the introduction of Philips Hue Secure. The brand’s all-new Secure cameras keep watch on your home at all times. Featuring a crisp and clear 1080p HD livestream, night vision, and a speaker for two-way talk and sound alarms, these cameras are your eyes and ears when you’re not there. Plus, the system’s sensors send you an alert and trigger lights as soon as someone opens a window, door, cabinet or safe. With alerts sent

straight to your phone, and the ability to manage your system easily from your mobile device using the app, including triggering light or sound alarms, you’ll have smart home security in the palm of your hand.

2. Manage lighting: Speaking of smart home lighting, this technology can help give the impression that your home is occupied, helping deter would-be in-

truders from even stepping onto your property. Use a smart home lighting system to strategically manage settings from your device while you’re away.

3. Hold your mail: Depending on the length of your trip, it may be a good idea to contact the U.S. Postal Service and request that they hold your mail while you’re gone. Likewise, if you subscribe to any newspapers, the last thing you’ll

want is a growing stack of dailies on your front driveway or lawn advertising your absence. Contact publications and ask them to hold delivery until you return.

4. Enlist a neighbor: Pair tech surveillance with a good old fashioned neighborhood watch. Ask a trusted friend or neighbor to keep an eye on things and to be in touch if they notice any suspicious activity.

5. Tidy up: While not related to home security, a few additional measures can help ensure your comfort when your vacation ends. Be sure to take out the trash and recycling as close to your departure as you can in order to avoid unpleasant odors in the summer heat. Tidy up. Sweep, do the dishes and wipe down surfaces so you can return to clean spaces. And as you approach your house upon your return, use your HVAC app to restore temperatures to their standard settings.

By making a few key preparations, you can get the peace of mind needed to enjoy your summer vacation to the fullest.

Put Mental Health First this Summer: 10 Ways to Support Your Child’s Well-Being

Boca Raton, FL – Summer is a time for fun, relaxation, and adventure! However, it can also be a period of transition and uncertainty for children. Supporting your child’s mental health during this season is crucial for their overall well-being.

Here are ten ways you can put mental health first this summer:

2. Maintain a Routine: While summer often means a break from the usual schedule, keeping a consistent routine provides a sense of stability. As much as possible, set regular times for meals, activities, and bedtime to help your child feel safe and secure. This is particularly important for very young children, especially before the age of 5. Children thrive on structure and consistency—and it also helps parents by creating a predictable environment that helps children grow emotionally, cognitively, and socially.

3. Promote Physical Activity and PLAY: Encourage your child to stay active through sports, dance, or even simple outdoor play. Physical activity releases endorphins, which can improve mood, and reduce anxiety.

4. Limit Screen Time: While it’s tempting to rely on screens for entertainment, excessive screen time can negatively impact mental health. Set boundaries and encourage other activities like reading, games, arts and crafts, or outdoor exploration. Have a Nature Scavenger Hunt by making a list of items found

1. Encourage Open Communication: Create a safe space for your child to express their feelings and thoughts. Regularly check in with them and listen without judgment. This helps build trust and shows that you value their emotions. For younger children, these feelings are often expressed through their play.

in nature, such as leaves, rocks, or flowers. Or conduct simple science experiments such as baking soda and vinegar volcanoes or making a rainbow in a jar. These are fun and educational activities!

5. Foster Social Connections: Arrange playdates, group activities, or a trip to the park to help your child stay connected with friends and peers. Social interactions are vital for emotional health and can help reduce feelings of loneliness.

6. Provide Healthy Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can positively affect mood and energy levels. Involve your child in meal planning and preparation to make healthy eating fun. Some ideas include: plant a garden with your child and watch it grow; make cooking a family activity; talk about your family’s food traditions and teach them a favorite recipe; take a field trip to a farmer’s market or local farm to learn more about other types of vegetables and fruits that may not be available at your grocery store.

8. Support Their Interests: Whether it’s a hobby, sport, or artistic pursuit, encouraging your child to engage in activities they love can boost their self-esteem and provide a sense of accomplishment.

9. Be a Role Model: Children often mirror the behavior of their parents. Demonstrate healthy coping strategies, positive thinking, and emotional regulation. Showing that you take care of your own mental health sets a powerful example and sets the foundation for lifelong health!

10. Seek Professional Help if Needed: If you notice persistent changes in your child’s behavior or mood, don’t hesitate to seek professional support.

Supporting your child’s mental health this summer doesn’t have to be complicated. By incorporating simple strategies into your daily routine, you can help ensure that your child enjoys a happy and healthy summer season. The Center for Child Counseling has put together a rich array of reliable resources for parents and caregivers: centerforchildcounseling. org/parentresources.

7. Encourage Mindfulness and Relaxation: Teach your child simple mindfulness exercises or relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or yoga. These practices can help them manage stress and stay calm.

New Exhibition in Coral Springs Raises Awareness about Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Coral Springs, FL — A new solo exhibition at the Coral Springs Museum of Art this summer will explore one of humanity’s most important questions—who are we without our memories?

South Florida fiber artist and curator Kristin M. Beck reflected on this complex question while caring for her father, who is one of 55 million people worldwide living with dementia, according to the World Health Organization.

Inspired by her experiences,Beck’s solo exhibition “Before I Forget” explores memory and identity while raising community awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia. “Before I Forget” is made possible thanks to the support of the Broward County Cultural Division’s Artist Support Grant.

Featuring works in textiles, fiber, video, paper, ink and paint, the exhibition will be on view Aug. 1-Oct. 5, 2024, with an opening reception on Thursday, Aug. 1 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will include interactive elements like a Memory Station and a replica of a bus stop, which represents going home—an idea that resonates with some people with advanced stages of the disease. In this space, visitors can write down what home means to them and add to the art piece. Admission is free.

“When I moved my dad from his

apartment to an assisted living facility, I had to take over his life, which can be complicated. I had not absorbed the depth of his declining memory until I started to take care of him,” said Kristin Beck. “One of my best coping mechanisms is to create art. I created a body of work in response to caring for my dad, which has helped me in myriad ways. I hope to remind others with similar experiences that they are not alone, and that we can find beauty in the moments of lucidity we share—until we no longer can.”

“We are proud to welcome Kristin Beck and her compelling artworks to the Coral Springs Museum of Art this summer,” said Juliana Forero, PhD, Arts & Culture Programs Manager for the City of Coral Springs. “The shared human experience of memory loss is not an easy topic to showcase—but it is important, and Kristin does it with the highest levels of creativity, authenticity, and care. We can’t wait to share this solo exhibition with our community.”

Community Involvement Sparks Awareness

As part of Beck’s commitment to raising awareness about dementia and Alzheimer’s, “Before I Forget” invites the community to join the exhibition’s community memory quilt project, coinciding with the Alzheimer’s Association’s The Longest Day. Last month, participants wrote down memories on pieces of fabric or shared meaningful fabrics, like a favorite shirt.

On Saturday, June 22 at 10:30 a.m., the public can attend this free event to see the quilt’s progress and contribute more memories. The finished Memory Quilt will be displayed in the exhibition.

In addition to the solo exhibition in partnership with the museum, two condensed versions will occur this year in partnership with the Broward County Library. The first will be at the Northwest Regional Library now through June 29, 2024. In honor of Alzheimer’s & Brain

Awareness Month, the branch will host an Alzheimer’s Community Symposium on Friday, June 28 at 2 p.m., welcoming medical professionals, therapists and providers, and community members (including Beck) to discuss the latest research findings, innovative approaches to care, and the complexities of caring for loved ones.

The second exhibit will take place starting this October at the North Regional/Broward College Library. It will also include programming and a “memory cafe” for people with dementia and their caregivers. The cafe will foster a safe comfortable space for people experiencing memory loss to connect with others.

“Before I Forget” is made possible with support from the Broward County Cultural Division’s Artist Support Grant.

By: Marci Shatzman

A slew of grateful nonprofits accepted grants totaling $79,500 in proceeds from the 2023 Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton’s Mayors Ball, and announced the gala’s new chair and 2024 ‘Save the Date.’

Proceeds from the eighth annual and sold-out 2023 event supported the health and wellness needs of Boca Raton nonprofits through the club’s mission and “Service Above Self” grant program.

The next Mayors Ball will be held on Saturday Nov. 16 at Boca West Country Club, new chairman Bob Tucker confirmed.

“As its co-chairs, Bonnie and I are elated to see so many nonprofits receive funds from the proceeds from last year’s Mayors Ball. After creating the event and its “Service Above Self” grant program during my club presidency year, and producing eight successful Boca Raton Mayors Balls, Bonnie and I are pleased this year to pass the baton on this legacy event to our friend, colleague and fellow club member Bob Tucker who I recruited for membership last year,” Jon Kaye said.

Nonprofit CEOs and staffers had a chance to describe their mission at the club’s recent luncheon to distribute the grants.

“We help children learn to be kind

through monthly topics, so there’s less bullying, suicides and healthier relationships,” said recipient Kindness365’s executive director Karin Gellen.

“We serve a hidden population (of middle and high school students) and we applied for this grant for respite to give them a break. We want to make sure no child has to drop out of school for family caregiving,” said Connie Siskowski, founder and president of American Association of Caregiving Youth.

Among the other nonprofit leaders accepting a Mayors Ball grant were YMCA of South Palm Beach County CEO Jason Hagensick; Donna Biase, co-founder and executive director Best Foot Forward: Spirit of Giving executive director Lindy Harvey; Jonathan Price, CEO, Faulk Center for Counseling, and Drew Gaut, PROPEL program director.
