She has been a community activist for most of her life, living her belief that the world can be a better place. A grandmother of 8, she is determined to show what dedication to service can do for her community.

Francisco Enriquez
Director of Operations
Frank is eager to serve the community after retiring with 20 years of service in the Army. He is a Brooklyn NY native and a recent Florida resident but has lived all over the world. He follows all sports (except golf) and has really enjoyed following and being involved with the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Buccaneers. But, hailing from NYC, Frank is a true New York fan – with the Yankees, Giants and the Rangers being his favorites!
Margi Dawson
Director of Development
Margi is a Trenton, New Jersey, native and must have gained her love of history from being surrounded by important sites from the Revolutionary War.

She LOVES the environment surrounding non-profit work and in helping people in need AND making this world a better place. Margi and her husband share their home with 2 young English Bulldogs, Bruce Wayne & Harvey Dent. Or is it the other way around?
