A Safe Haven for Newborns (ASHFN) will hold its sixth annual Tee Off for a Cause Golf Tournament on May 19, at Trump National Doral Resorts Red Tiger golf course with a 1 p.m. shotgun start. Golfers will enjoy a day on the links followed by a reception, silent auction and great prizes. To register and/or learn more about this amazing organization, visit asafehavenfornewborns.org.
For those not familiar with ASHFN, it was founded 22 years ago by Nick Silverio who works 24/7 at no salary to help mothers and expectant mothers in crisis. Recently, they welcomed the 370th baby that was lawfully left in the arms of caring firefighters at a Florida fire station.
Firefighters ensured both mother and the baby were healthy and mother was offered additional support and resources with her identity protected as the law allows. That healthy baby was delivered to a local hospital and was placed for adoption with a loving forever family.

In other news, Young Entrepreneurs, grades 3-10, have a wonderful opportunity to participate in “Produced with Purpose” fourth annual Young Entrepreneurs Showcase on Saturday, May 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Miami International Mall.
Produced with Purpose was founded by Leila Hilliard, who started her own business at age 10 and wanted to inspire others to follow her lead. With the help of Leila’s teachers and her parents, the Young Entrepreneurs Showcase grew from an idea to a reality allowing young kids to brainstorm an idea, develop a business, and launch it to the community. This event is free to the public, and you can support our Young Entrepreneurs by attending the event and purchasing from their businesses on that day.
Registration is open for any Kid Bosses from grades 3 to 10 who would like to participate.
All business categories are welcome and encouraged to register. More than 40 businesses have participated in Young Entrepreneurs Showcase year to year. Join the fun as Kid Bosses display their creativity and sell their original products and services that are usually sold year-round. Participants are responsible for their booth setup, sales transactions, and interactions with customers. Great training ground for these young people. Kudos to Leila and her organization for helping produce a new generation of entrepreneurs.
Until next time, share your talents and make a difference.
