RAY BRESLIN'S "SPONSOR A CHILD" PROGRAM - FALL/SPRING 2011/12

Miami Beach, FL - "Two years ago, I started a sponsor a child program and have sponsored the first child by paying $450 for his summer tuition. His name is Angel Perez. He and his family were thrilled that I did this and thanked me from the bottom of their hearts. There are many other deserving students and I implore you to each use a portion of your discretionary funds to sponsor a child and encourage others you know to do the same. These kids are our future and the programs that are offered by SoBe and the free concerts that they give all through the year are a real valuable asset.

The final spring concert that year drew a standing room only crowd on a weekend when most residents flee the beach. It was amazing to see how great this organization truly is for South Florida.

You still have a chance. Please join me and sponsor a kid. You can meet the student if you would like, or you can be anonymous. It is your choice but please help. These kids deserve it. I have attached a picture of Angel, his family, and me from the performance this past Saturday that finished SoBe Music's school year. If I can make the difference in just one kids life, it is well worth it but I want more and that takes you.

Thank you in advance for your support and help. SoBe Arts deserves it and so do the kids."

Ray Breslin, Collins Park Neighborhood Association
