The Arc of South Florida presented the Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce with a check $3,000 for the chamber’s scholarship fund.
The Arc of South Florida provides services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It has been in South Florida for 70 years.
At the chamber’s October luncheon, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Gabriel Parra said that the organization gets a lot of support from the community.
“We felt that this time the Arc has to pay back as we say, so we’re very honored today to provide $3,000 to the scholarship fund,” Parra said.
The chamber scholarship fund provides annual scholarships to students from Ana G. Mendez University and Miami Dade College.
