Fort Lauderdale, FL (January 29, 2009)

The Law Offices of Roger P. Foley hosted the 2nd Annual Broward County Courthouse Christmas Party that raised more than $1,600 to benefit the I. Lorraine Thomas Children’s Emergency Home and Family Support Center.  This festive holiday party took place on Friday December 12, 2008 after being postponed one week due to flooding in the Courthouse.

“We wanted to make the party a resounding success enabling us to extend the holiday spirit to this worthy charity and feel we accomplished this with over thirty participants donating.” says Roger P. Foley.

Founded in 1902 in Jacksonville, CHS is the largest and oldest statewide not-for-profit child- and family-serving organization in Florida. Last year alone, CHS helped turn the lives around for more than 90,000 children and families.  For 42 years, the Intercoastal Division, a United Way member agency, has served Broward County and currently offers a unique spectrum of human services such as adoption assistance, foster care, family preservation, substance abuse outpatient, a children’s emergency home, individual and family mental health therapy, legal advocacy for children with special needs, and child abuse prevention programs.  CHS has been fully accredited by Council on Accreditation since 1982 and maintains a 3-Star rating on Charity Navigator.
