This will bring the total meal giveways by the partners to approximately 3500 over the last two weeks in the tri-county area. “The Orange Bowl has always been responsive to the community’s needs, whether it be hurricane relief, park renovations or back to school supplies,” said Jeff E. Rubin, President and Chair of the Orange Bowl Committee, formed in 1935. “Charitable giving and community outreach, along with economic development are central to our mission. We are pleased to play a small part in helping those in need throughout South Florida.” Two of the four pillars of Orange Bowl Community Outreach– fundraising events and community programs, as well as Legacy gifts – continue today to leave a lasting imprint on South Florida. The fifth of five meal giveaways to take place at the five Orange Bowl Legacy Parks, and the only in Broward County, will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Orange Bowl Field at Joseph C. Carter Park, 1450 Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. Residents in need are encouraged to arrive early in their vehicles.

The parks are all branded Orange Bowl Field at… and are located at Moore Park, City of Miami; Ives Estates Park, Miami-Dade County; Carter Park, Fort Lauderdale, Harris Field Park, Homestead and Glades Pioneer Park Belle Glade. |
