On Saturday, April 26, 2025, the Hallandale Beach-Aventura Rotary Club was present to support one of our most significant priorities; the health of our children.
Healthy Kids Day took place at the fabulous Hallandale Beach YMCA. This amazing event is a free event sponsored by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Miami Marlins, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and Publix Charities. The Hallandale Beach YMCA was also promoting their Send to Camp as part of their Annual Campaign.
Rotarians Georgia Winfield, Marguerite Goulet, Marushka Jilek, and Club President Evelyn Trinidad-Torano greeted adults and children, offered snacks and bananas, and shared information about the Rotary Club. What we do, what we are, what we support. We met wonderful people and were excited to see their interest in visiting our Club at our weekly lunches.
We were thrilled to see our own Rotarian Tariq Robinson. Tariq is the Director of Operations at the YMCA and was constantly running around making sure everything was working perfectly. It was and the day was a success. Amazing job, Tariq, congrats!
We want to thank our friend Zeina Zein-Wolland, Founder & President of Mobile School Pantry for donating the bananas. Children and adults were always coming to our table to talk and enjoy the fabulous display of fruit. Thanks! Z.
