Every day the SMG-managed Fort Lauderdale Convention Center welcomes new people and events to our state-of-the-art facility where we’re committed to fresh thinking and new ideas. While we always stay on the leading edge of current trends, one thing that never changes is our commitment to helping the less fortunate in our community.
For the past several years, the Convention Center team has "adopted" families in need during the holiday season through South Florida's Neighbors 4 Neighbors program. For weeks, we collect new, unwrapped toys and clothing to donate to our adopted family, which never fails to bring countless smiles and appreciation.
This year, we were able to help a family of six living in the Broward County City of Lauderdhill. Facing a possible foreclosure on their home, both mom and dad were extremely grateful for the assistance they received in helping to make this Christmas special for their four children, one of whom is disabled and speech impaired.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to our adopted family and came together as a team to share in our holiday spirit of generosity. This is a tradition we plan to carry on for many years to come!
Sincerely,
The Convention Center Team
