SOUTH FLORIDA – ‘Pops’ have been lauded at ‘Music For A King: Saluting Fathers’, a charity present which occurred at Hollywood Group Church Auditorium on June twenty first. The occasion was organized by Legacy Studying Basis (LLC).
Featured performers have been Willie Stewart and Pals, pianist Reverend Huntley Brown, singers Bunny Rose and Joan Myers.
Lorraine Tracey, a director on the LLC, informed South Florida Caribbean Information that response to the present was “overwhelmingly constructive” and met all aims.
“The premise of the live performance was tri-fold: to deliver consciousness to the work of the Legacy Studying Basis, particularly the Summer season Enrichment Camp; to honor the volunteers and mentors who’ve been working with the people who we serve, each youngsters and adults; and to salute fathers for his or her principal position as the top of the household,” she mentioned.
Established 14 years in the past, the LLC screens humanitarian applications in South Florida and rural Jamaica. Funds from ‘Music For A King’ will help its Summer season Enrichment Camp and Monetary Literacy Course for highschool college students in Miramar, in addition to desk tennis and church restoration in Jamaica.
Through the night, Lifetime Achievement Awards and Citations of Honor (Proclamations) from
Oliver Mair, Consul Common of Jamaica, was introduced to Dr. Gerry Gallimore and Religion Constance Haughton.
Tracey, an educator from St. Ann parish in Jamaica, has been concerned in philanthropy since migrating to Miami in 1983. This yr, the LLC determined to honor fathers, one week after Father’s Day to permit them household time on that special occasion.
“Each household wants a champion, and each little one wants a hero. Fathers fill these roles in essentially the most significant methods and this live performance was a possibility to assemble, take pleasure in some fabulous music, sing some tunes collectively, and remind our gents that they’re revered, valued, and liked,” she mentioned.
