Banyan’s Wings of Hope Helps 4KIDS of South Florida
/
The teammates at Banyan Air Service, based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, have recently committed their support to 4KIDS of South Florida. Banyan helps this organization through volunteer opportunities, monetary donations and new and gently used items.
“We considered several nonprofit organizations but felt that the mission of 4KIDS of South Florida was the right match for Banyan," said Brandy Voss, Banyan’s Spirit Committee Director. "We spent several weeks getting to know the organization and felt that the Banyan team would be very supportive of the mission of 4KIDS of South Florida.”
Last month, Banyan volunteers worked every Saturday to renovate a donated house by repairing drywall, fixing sprinklers, painting rooms and working on landscaping. In addition, Banyan teammates support the nonprofit with donations through payroll deductions.
On April 24, the Banyan team will participate in the 4KIDS of South Florida BiG Cardio at Central Broward Regional Park, 3700 NW 11th Place, Lauderhill, Fla. This annual event raises funds for the organization and consists of numerous activities such as a cardio class, 5K run/walk, boot camp, basketball tournament and fitness expo. Banyan encourages everyone to register individually or form your own team or just come out and enjoy a morning of family fun while raising support for kids in crisis.
4KIDS of South Florida is a nonprofit organization committed to meeting the needs of thousands of children in foster care. From the moment a child is removed from their family because of abuse, abandonment or neglect, this organization provides for them physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. 4KIDS has more than 100 licensed foster homes and foster families, 12 family-style homes, and cares for more than 1000 children each year.
