Florida Friendship Circle
The Foundation is a long-time supporter of the Chabad of Parkland
Florida Friendship Circle,
which operates Summer camps for people with special needs. The unique approach benefits three parts of the
community.
- It gives youth with special needs a chance to socialize and create experiences.
- Teen volunteers develop essential skills through extensive experience, training and orientation.
- Offers caregivers a short respite as parenting children with special needs can be a 24/7 challenge.
The foundation donated more than $1 million to build a Center for Jewish life at the Parkland Friendship
Circle. It will be named, The Michael & Betsy Brauser Campus for Jewish Life. It is scheduled to be
completed in Summer of 2017. It is expected to be the home of The Friendship Circle, Chabad Headquarters,
CGI Summer Camp and Pre-School of the Arts.
