The red carpets were rolling out in Broward County this weekend, too.
More than 700 people attended the 7th Annual Community Care Plan Non-Profit Awards on Friday (Feb. 24) presented by the Signature Grand and hosted by 2-1-1 Broward. The event, which raised $154,000, included the red carpet arrival, awards ceremony, luncheon and after party, all to celebrate the work of Broward County’s non-profit organizations and their leaders.
“2-1-1 Broward is proud to shine the spotlight on all of the great work of the non-profits that have such a tremendous impact on our community,” says Sheila Smith, president and CEO of 2-1-1 Broward, which provides a 24-hour helpline to connect individuals and families in the community with the service providers they need. “We are very proud to partner with Community Care Plan, Signature Grand and the rest of our sponsors to celebrate our non-profits.”
