The foundation enables the Guardian ad Litem Program to recruit, train and support volunteers to serve as the “Voice” for abused, abandoned and neglected children by advocating for their best interests in dependency court proceedings.

The tournament’s Silver Sponsors included Coastal Masonry, Dynalectric, Epsylon USA, GMP Glazing, Monark Appliances, Sprinklermatic, SVP Tile & Marble, and Zarella Construction.

Furthermore, in January 2017, Brad Meltzer and his wife, Suzanne, chaired and hosted the Voices For Children Foundation’s 21st Annual “Be A Voice, Be A Light Gala” presented by Harry Winston, Inc. which raised more than $700,000 for children in Miami-Dade County.
In making the announcement, Brad Meltzer stated, “On behalf of Plaza Construction and our many sponsors and supporters, we are proud to continue our support for Voices For Children Foundation. Based on the foundation’s outstanding work, we are confident that these funds will help reshape children’s lives throughout Miami-Dade.”
Also commenting, Nelson Hincapie, President and CEO of Voices For Children Foundation, added, “Plaza Construction has been instrumental in our efforts to break the cycles of abuse and neglect. Plaza helps us build new futures for young people who unfortunately end up in foster care. We couldn’t be prouder of what we can do together.”
