Approximately 85 blind and visually impaired children played on a snow “mountain” at the Lighthouse of Broward’s Holiday Party in celebration of the holiday season. In addition to having snow play, kids jumped in a bounce house, decorated cookies, enjoyed hot chocolate and lunch, and visited with Santa Claus.
The Snow Party was sponsored by Carl and Linda Orringer, Sajdera P.A. Law Firm, EM Consulting Group and Century Medals & Supplies. Pre-engineering students from American Heritage in Plantation volunteered at the event.
“It was a wonderful holiday event for our kids,” said Lighthouse of Broward President and CEO Ellyn Drotzer. “We are so grateful to all of our generous sponsors and our wonderful student volunteers from American Heritage.”
