Dear Neighbors:
Happy New Year and thanks for your generosity this holiday season.
Our Adopt-A-Family 4 the Holidays 2006 program was a huge success.
January is National Mentoring Month. The word "mentoring"
can be intimidating to a busy person, but we'd like to show
you many ways you can mentor. Check out our Mentoring
page and see that it isn't always about money. Your expertise
and knowledge could help someone start a business, introduce
a child to the arts, or help a teen transition from foster care
to independence. I hope you'll give it a try.

The
Neighbors 4 Neighbors Adopt-A-Family 4 the Holidays
2006 program was a huge success! Our staff is currently
finalizing our reports, but initial counts show:
|
|
Nearly 150 adopters, which included individuals, families, schools, and entire companies. |
|
|
Nearly 1,000 people adopted through phase one of Adopt-A-Family, where our adopters "adopt" a family for the holidays. |
|
|
Over 6,000 toys and nearly $9,000 in gift cards and monetary donations collected for Operation Elf, phase two of Adopt-A-Family, which makes sure unadopted families receive gifts. |
|
|
Over 500 people served through Operation Elf. |

Organization:
Miami's Police Athletic League
Background: The Police Athletic League (PAL) is a
recreation-oriented, juvenile crime prevention program
that relies heavily on athletics and recreational activities
to tighten the bond between police officers and kids in
the community. |
| Police
teach values through sports |
|
|
Faced
with financial woes, the nonprofit program affiliated
with the Miami police department has had to close down
four of their sites and has reduced the number of kids
they serve from 500 to 150 in just two years.

Neighbors
4 Neighbors is a non-profit organization 501(c)
3, originally created by CBS4 in 1992 in the aftermath
of Hurricane Andrew. As South Florida recovered, CBS4
made a commitment to make Neighbors an integral part
of its community service program. Using the power of
television to reach people who want to help and by forging
relationships with important community and business
leaders, Neighbors has evolved into a valuable resource
for individuals and families in our community facing
critical needs. |
