Dear Friends:
As the Urban League of Broward County closes one of its most successfulyears, we have many accomplishments to celebrate. It was a year oftremendous growth. On the heels of a $1 million gift from JM FamilyEnterprises in 2010, we broke ground on our future home, theCommunity Empowerment Center. The construction of the center deliversa powerful message to our supporters: the Urban League is built to last.
LAYING THE FOUNDATIONThroughout our growth, the Urban League focused on fine-tuningprograms that would address the barriers to education, jobs, housing andhealth for low-income residents in Broward County. The CommunityEmpowerment Center will allow us to broaden our reach in thecommunity by serving more children, families and youth in need. Weknew that our expansion project would not only add economic value tothe surrounding community—but it would also fit the true needs of ourclients.
GOING BEYOND CONSTRUCTION Laying the foundation for our new home was only half the battle. It wasequally important to design a blueprint for improving the continuum ofcritical services offered by the Urban League. Our construction crew—composed of our dedicated Board of Directors, volunteers and staff,played an important role in building the “new” Urban League. It is due totheir commitment and the generosity of our investors that allows us toempower communities and change lives each year.
We are pleased to share some highlights from the past year with you andlook forward to building a better Broward County for our families,colleagues and friends.
