Dear Friends,
As Board Chair of Boys Town South Florida, I write to you with profound gratitude and a heart full of hope for what lies ahead. This past year has been one of remarkable transformation, and I am honored to share this journey with you.
2025 has been a year of significant transition for our organization. Our beloved Executive Director, Bethany Lacey, has moved on to a new chapter in her career, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy.
Under her leadership, Boys Town South Florida flourished. Our organizational culture strengthened, the quality of our services reached new heights, and we moved and expanded our Broward County office to accommodate the growth of our intensive case management program--Care Coordination Services and Lift with Boys Town, an innovative educational program. Bethany's vision and dedication have positioned us beautifully for the future, and we are forever grateful for her contributions.
While change can feel uncertain, I am confident Boys Town South Florida is in excellent hands. Our dedicated local team, along with incredible support from our national headquarters in Omaha, continues Father Flanagan's legacy with unwavering commitment, providing preventive and early intervention services to families and children facing life's most challenging circumstances.
As we look forward to 2026, I am excited about our upcoming 35th anniversary of Boys Town South Florida, where we have served approximately 75,000 children and counting. I am grateful for the investments of our funders, individual donors, corporations, businesses and private foundations in the lives of those who need us the most.
Our work and commitment to our local communities continue. This holiday season, as we gather with loved ones, let us remember those who need a little more help to thrive. Your partnership has been instrumental in our success, and I invite you to continue this journey with us in new and meaningful ways. Whether through volunteering, advocacy, or financial support, there are countless opportunities to make a difference.
I would love to hear from you. Please reach out to me directly at InfoSFL@boystown.org to explore how you can play an even greater role in shaping Boys Town South Florida’s future in 2026. Together, we can ensure that every child and family in our community has the resources and support they need to flourish.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for being an essential part of our story.
With
gratitude and hope,
Justine Morgan
