A Lugano Diamonds raffle winner was announced at the event and the winners were Scott & Kristen Zankl of Boca Raton, winning a signature jewelry piece valued at over $25,000.

Life Skills – Success Depends on Delivery

Selfless Love Foundation’s One Voice Impact youth leaders are vocal about the need for Florida to improve how it delivers life skills training courses to youth in foster care. These youth have experienced the challenges of accessing these vital tools as they transition out of the system. As we continue to learn, the first step to effectively changing the system is listening to these voices of experience.
