NAIOP South Florida, a Commercial Real Estate Development Association, recently hosted its 34th Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Grande Oaks Golf Club in Davie. The golf tournament, which was the first in-person event hosted by the organization in nine months, generated more than $21,000 for Jack & Jill Children’s Center, the oldest non-profit provider of early childhood education in Broward County.

“We were so excited to be able to have our annual golf tournament this year, in light of everything happening, and at the same time be able to raise funds for such an incredible organization,” said NAIOP South Florida Executive Director Jules R. Morgan. “While the pandemic continues to create uncertainty, local non-profits depend on events like ours to keep their doors open and their programs operational. Thank you to our generous NAIOP South Florida members and sponsors whose donations and time made this event a success.”

Funds raised for Jack & Jill Children’s Center will help educate children of high-need working families while offering family strengthening programs so that parents and children can gain the necessary skills to succeed in life. Over the past five years, NAIOP South Florida has raised more than $100,000 for the organization.
