Monthly networking reception benefits Ballplayers Foundation
By Maria Pierson
Leadership Broward Foundation continues to raise funds for non-profit organizations during SociallyGood, a monthly networking reception to showcase the amazing work of these local nonprofits.
The most recent SociallyGood, hosted by Batch New Southern Kitchen and Tap in Fort Lauderdale, benefited Ballplayers Foundation Inc. which provides athletic opportunities and experiences to underprivileged youth primarily in South Florida. Ballplayers Foundation strives to help individual youth players in need; it is not intended to support a particular team.
“SociallyGood is about building community, generating awareness for non-profits and raising funds that have a direct impact on those who need it most,” said Leadership Broward CEO Andrew Zullo.
To date there have been more than 100 SociallyGood networking events where 100% of the funds raised are donated to the featured non-profit. Among the organizations that have been beneficiaries are YMCA of South Florida, Arc Broward, 211, Broward Education Foundation, ArtServe, Habitat for Humanity Broward, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Broward College, Broward Library Foundation, Hispanic Unity, United Way, Business for the Arts Broward and more.
SociallyGood events are open to the public and are typically held at local restaurants, hotels and other venues. Any business can host or sponsor SociallyGood, which provides great exposure for that business.
To become a beneficiary of SociallyGood, a non-profit must submit an application to become a community project for the incoming Leadership Broward class to work on. Applications are accepted from February through September.
