FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – OCTOBER 26, 2006 – Orbis USA, a newly created organization dedicated to bringing together professionals and promoting the South Florida business community, will hold a Thanksgiving fundraiser at Tarpon Bend from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on November 9th to benefit Kids@Home.
Admission is $5 plus one non-perishable food item as a donation. Tarpon Bend is located at 200 SW 2nd Street. The party will be held on the second level of the bar.
Proceeds will benefit Kids@Home, a Boca Raton-based non-profit organization providing a comprehensive array of independent living and self-sufficiency care for teenagers who at 18-years-old are aging out of foster care. The goal is to ensure the safety, permanency and well being of teens as they transition from foster care by providing coordination and linkages to housing, education, employment, and caring adults.
“We think this is a great opportunity for our new organization to help give back to the community” said David C. Scileppi, an attorney with Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A. and co-founder of Orbis USA. Orbis USA is a non-profit organization that represents a cross-section of the South Florida business community.
“We are looking forward to our first planned event and are very excited for upcoming events,” said Michael S. Schimmel, an attorney with Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A. and co-founder of Orbis USA.
