Children’s Harbor Goes Full Court
C
hildren’s Harbor, a nationally accredited nonprofit agency with a mission to provide a safe harbor and support to at-risk children, youth, and families is about to get a full-court basketball court. The agency, which is focused on keeping brothers and sisters together, and, strengthening families received a $25,000 Community Impact Grant from New York Life (NYL) and additional matching funds from the Craig Zinn Automotive Group. “The court is one of our main fixtures on campus and is enjoyed daily by many of the youth we serve,” said Children’s Harbor President and CEO Tiffani Dhooge. “Not only does the court serve as an athletic space, but it is also one of the many keys utilized by our therapists to unlock traumas in the youth we serve. It’s a comfortable setting for them to have open discussions so that they may begin to heal from their trauma.” “We are grateful to New York Life for their continued support over the years of Children’s Harbor, an organization that is near and dear
to my heart,” said Bill Mahoney, founder of Children’s Harbor. “I also want to thank Craig Zinn Automotive Group for partnering with us and matching this gift so that we could reach our fundraising goal and begin the buildout of the new court.” Established in 1996, Children’s Harbor is a nationally accredited nonprofit agency with a mission to provide a safe harbor and support to at-risk children, youth, and families, keeping brothers and sisters together, strengthening families, and rebuilding lives. Children’s Harbor provides nurturing, family group homes for teens in the foster care system on a beautiful eight-acre campus in Pembroke Pines, FL. These loving homes allow brothers and sisters and teen mothers and their babies to stay together during a turbulent time in their young lives. Children’s Harbor also helps prevent child abuse through our Family Strengthening Program. Each year, 200 families across Broward County receive in-home counseling to improve parenting and communication skills.
