Donation from Florida to BTBCF

Sam is a young lady who lives in Florida and contacted us awhile ago. She had traveled to Punta Cana with her parents and was struck with the educational needs of the children of the Dominican Republic. Upon returning to her home, she wrote an essay about the children and her desire to help them. The essay was read by an executive of Office Depot - they were in the process of opening a new store in Santo Domingo, DR and felt that Sam deserved a donation to the charity of her choice. We are happy to say that she chose Beyond the Beach Children's Foundation. She also contacted the Hard Rock Hotel in Punta Cana (where they had stayed) and, they donated a week at their hotel - Sam sold raffle tickets and raised more money. The draw was held at Miller's Ale House during which time, more donations were made. This afternoon, Sam and her family gave Beyond the Beach $4,435!!!!!! Thank you so much Sam... your donations will go a long way to helping the children of the Dominican Republic!!

Yes - Sam is an amazing young woman!!! At 17, she saw things that other see but, do nothing about..... It was wonderful meeting her and her parents - excellent role models also.
