Heart Gallery of Broward County is excited to announce the launch of “BBI’s Give With All Your Heart presented by Boies Schiller Flexner” (GWAYH) holiday campaign, running from November 1 to December 31. This two-month initiative, which coincides with National Adoption Month, encourages the South Florida community to support foster children by donating funds, dining at Sicilian Oven and Aquaplex Fort Lauderdale, enjoying spa services at Heavenly Spa by Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort or hosting private events. This initiative is being launched with lead support from BBI and presenting sponsor Boies Schiller Flexner plus a $40,000 fundraising match from The Moss Foundation.
