Student Guest Speaker
Mary Brown
Florida International University Graduate
Mary has been in our program since 2014 and has overcome many obstacles to achieve tremendous success!
Children in foster care face unimaginable challenges in life with dismal outcomes,
but your support can change that!
100% of the proceeds raised from this event will benefit Best Foot Forward’s innovative and life-changing programs.
Children in foster care desperately need the one-on-one educational support we provide, but they also need so much more! Essentials like birthday celebrations, field trip money, senior year activities, groceries, and college summer housing are often overlooked, but are extremely important.
To truly help our students put their “best foot forward” and help them become successful, independent, contributing members of our community, we need your support.
That is the essence of the Sole Mates Luncheon!
EXCITING RAFFLE PRIZES WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON!
Shoes for 6 months from Saks Fifth Avenue Boca Raton valued at $4,500
And so much more!
