FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – NAIOP South Florida, a Commercial Real Estate Development Association, has donated $20,719 to Jack & Jill Children’s Center, the oldest non-profit provider of early childhood education in Broward County, with proceeds from NAIOP South Florida’s 34th annual golf tournament.  

 

“We are so pleased to present this donation to an amazing non-profit organization that does meaningful work with children and families in our community,” said NAIOP South Florida Executive Director Jules R. Morgan.

 

“Due to the challenges of the pandemic, we postponed our annual golf tournament by several months. Thankfully in the end, we were able hold the event and donate the earnings to Jack & Jill Children’s Center.”
