In 2024, the  Community Foundation of Broward  is proud to celebrate 40 years of creating BOLD Impact for Broward. What started 40 years ago as a BOLD idea shared by a few philanthropists in Fort Lauderdale has grown into the Community Foundation that today transforms Broward through focused leadership that fosters collaboration, builds endowment, advances equity and connects people who care to causes that matter.   Seeking to establish a local philanthropy champion for Broward, founders Libby and Jack Deinhardt launched the Foundation with a small group of volunteers in December 1984. A volunteer leadership team and a budding group of donors’ gifts led to the establishment of an endowment and an initial $7,000 in grants to support struggling families, the arts, education, seniors and other local needs. The Foundation was entrusted to carefully invest and grow philanthropists’ gifts, directing grants that enabled their local impact to continue for generations. As a result of the seeds the visionary volunteers planted, the Foundation’s philanthropy family and giving power keeps growing. In 2023, the Foundation’s assets totaled nearly $300 million and it awarded a record $20 million in annual grants to support opportunities to transform lives and shape a brighter future.    Today and forever, the Foundation provides community leadership, fosters bold philanthropy and builds permanent resources to tackle Broward’s biggest challenges. It partners with individuals, families and local organizations to create personalized charitable funds that fuel game-changing philanthropy. As a grantmaking public charity, the Foundation provides leadership and resources to support solutions that make Broward a better place to call home. Through the power of endowment, the Foundation builds permanent resources for Broward to take care of itself for generations to come.    Presently, the Foundation shepherds 532 charitable funds, and in over 40 years, it has provided nearly $200 million in support of student achievement, the arts, career readiness, seniors in need, HIV/AIDs prevention, equity and social justice, environmental resilience, health care, affordable housing, disaster relief, nonprofit empowerment and much more. All grants are made possible by the dedicated fundholders who partner with the Foundation to create charitable funds to fuel their philanthropy.   The grants are just a part of the important work of the Foundation. Through the years, it has led the way in identifying Broward’s emerging needs and continues to forge innovative collaborations with local organizations to tackle growing community challenges. It’s building an endowment that provides critical local support today and will be there to support the community for generations to come. The principal of an endowment is invested and grows over time, providing a continuous and permanent source of support to tackle the community’s most pressing issues.     “We’re honored to reach this remarkable milestone of celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Community Foundation of Broward,” said President/CEO Jennifer O'Flannery Anderson, Ph.D. “It’s all made possible by our fundholders – dedicated individuals, families and organizations – who partner with us to create charitable funds that we shepherd and grow. We make their charitable giving easier and more strategic and amplify their impact by pooling support to tackle big challenges. Together, we create a BOLD impact here in the place we call home.”    To commemorate this special milestone, the Foundation is organizing initiatives throughout 2024, including extended festivities at its annual Community Builder Celebration, taking place at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday, Nov. 7. Also, throughout the year, the Foundation will share photos, stories, videos and more that showcase how it was established and how its history shaped the exciting course it’s charting for the future.    Additionally, the Foundation is awarding special “40 for 40: Spread the Love Grants” – $400,000 total to help 40 nonprofits make a BOLD impact for Broward. The grants – up to $10,000 each – will support 40 innovative, impactful opportunities for nonprofits to help the community by investing in projects and initiatives that make life better in Broward. The campaign is another way for the Foundation to celebrate this milestone and say “thank you” to the community that has embraced its mission to champion local philanthropy that shapes a brighter future for Broward. Applications for the “40 for 40: Spread the Love Grants” are due by Thursday, July 25, via the  Grants Application Portal  and the 40 nonprofits receiving the grants will be announced in October.    For more information about the Community Foundation of Broward, please visit  https://www.cfbroward.org/  and for more information about the  40th anniversary visit  https://www.cfbroward.org/articles/celebrating-40-years-of-the-community-foundations-bold-impact .

Professional Canadian skateboarder Andy Anderson has emerged as a transformative force in the world of skateboarding, blending innovative tricks, a unique style, and unmatched mental resilience to redefine the sport and its cultural impact. Known for his distinctive helmet, pioneering 'blast from the past' style, and reputation as one of the most versatile skateboarders in the world, Anderson has pushed the boundaries of skateboarding, inspiring a new generation to embrace creativity and individuality. In the opening episode of the fourth season of ' Skate Tales ', a series that delves deep into the lives and narratives of the most influential figures in skateboarding, Anderson's story and his profound contributions to the sport take center stage. The 80/20 Snapshot : Innovative Skateboarding Style : Andy Anderson combines innate skill with forgotten styles from past decades, defying traditional norms: " I didn’t want to be like everyone around me when I was younger. I’d see the tricks that everyone was doing, and I didn’t want to do that ‘cause they were doing it ." Personal Journey and Challenges : Despite early scepticism and resistance from peers regarding his insistence on always wearing a helmet for safety, Andy Anderson persisted, eventually turning it into his trademark: " Protect your brain, bro. Your brain is you ." Cultural Impact and Legacy : Anderson has influenced skateboarding culture by advocating for safety without compromising style, promoting inclusivity and celebrating individuality within the community: " If you're you, they either accept you or they don't. But if you change, then you're not you anymore, and then you’re just what they are willing to accept ." Deep Dive: 'Skate Tales' host Madars Apse travels to Venice Beach in Los Angeles to meet Andy Anderson, a true icon within the skateboarding world. Anderson's unique fusion of raw talent and against-the-grain spirit is evident in his approach to life and skating. He says: "I moved to Venice because a lot of people told me I shouldn't. [..] I didn’t want to be like everyone around me when I was younger. I’d see the tricks that everyone was doing, and I didn’t want to do that ‘cause they were doing it." Anderson's take on skateboarding is therefore revolutionary, characterised by his creativity and technical precision. While introducing a variety of new tricks and styles that defy traditional norms in skateboarding, Anderson has also resurrected styles from the past : "Everything that I'm doing has pretty much been done in the eighties and then been cast into the shadows by the nineties, and I'm just bringing it back." His ability to seamlessly integrate timeless elements of freestyle, street, and park skating in diverse environments distinguishes him as a standout personality in the skating realm. Anderson's versatility shines through in his performances at prestigious events such as Florida's yearly Tampa Pro, where his artistic flair consistently captivates judges and fans alike. Despite his exceptional talent, Anderson's journey has been fraught with challenges. Ever since he began riding his skateboard, he encountered scepticism and resistance from peers who struggled to accept his unconventional style and insistence on always wearing a helmet for safety reasons. "Protect your brain, bro. Your brain is you," he says, highlighting why the head protection item has become his trademark. Instead of conforming, Anderson's unwavering mental strength propelled him forward. His resilience in the face of adversity has become a hallmark of his career, serving as an inspiration to aspiring skaters on the importance of authenticity and perseverance. Anderson reveals: "No matter what people said, they would never say it to my face. Even the guys on the tours that would smash my helmets and piss in them and whatnot, they wouldn't do that in front of me. They would be my friends all day and then do that at night. So I never really got a sense of the hate that people say that they've seen me have, but I definitely had to go through some hazing, bro. Working my way into the industry." Anderson's influence extends beyond technical innovations. Through his genuineness and determination, he has reshaped the cultural perception of skateboarding. By embracing his one-of-a-kind identity and advocating for safety without compromising style, Anderson has broadened the sport's appeal and fostered inclusivity within the skateboarding community. His impact has cultivated an environment where individuality is celebrated, empowering skaters to express themselves freely. "If you're truly yourself, even if it's freakin’ weird, if you're you, they either accept you or they don't. But if you change, then you're not you anymore, and then you’re just what they are willing to accept," he adds. As a trailblazer, Andy Anderson continues to inspire both seasoned professionals and newcomers. His commitment to originality and personal integrity has ushered in a new era in skateboarding. Moreover, his recent collaborations with major skateboard brands to design stylish safety gear exemplify his role in moulding the future of skateboarding and its culture. Anderson's story underscores the power of tenacity and the significance of challenging conventions, demonstrating that real progress in the sport is achieved through skill, creativity, determination and staying true to yourself.

You may be one of those many people who have an old, unwanted car in their possession. Possibly, now could be the right time to sell that car that has probably been sitting idle for years. However, wait till you get the first offer. Below are some factors that you have to take into consideration to fully maximize the usage of your junk car. Here are the guidelines that might assist in getting the most out of your money. Assessing the Condition of Your Car Before you start reaching out to Philadelphia  salvage yards, you should first understand what you are dealing with: Exterior: Look for dents, rust, and any other signs of external harm.  Interior: Look at the state of the seats, the dashboard, and electrical and electronic gadgets.  Engine and mechanical parts: Try to determine which pieces are still in proper operating condition.  Understanding your car’s situation will assist you in price determination and bargaining for the best price.  Gather Documentation Having your car’s paperwork in order can significantly boost its value. Make sure you have: Title: Proves ownership and is required by most buyers. Maintenance records: Show regular upkeep, which can make your car more appealing. Original manual and spare keys: These small details can add to the car’s value. Choosing the Best Selling Option The simplest and also quite profitable option is to address junkyards. Here’s how to get the best deal:  Get multiple quotes: Do not be tied down to the first quote that is offered. Dial around and compare costs.  Negotiate: With your knowledge of the car's current status and other available deals, you can bargain for better prices.  Check for extra fees: Some of the junkyards even charge for towing, and this should also be discussed at the beginning. Sell Parts Individually If you have a lot of time and energy, then selling the parts one by one will be more beneficial. High-demand parts include:   Catalytic converters: Possess metals of value.  Tires and rims: All these can easily find a good market if in good condition.  Electronics: Items that are commonly demanded include radios, GPS systems, and other related electronics. Online Marketplaces Websites like Craigslist , Facebook Marketplace, and eBay Motors  can be great places to sell your junk car or its parts:  Write an advertisement: Take clear photos and give a detailed account of the car and its condition.  Be honest: Any information regarding the car can be useful, and revealing the problem may help you avoid wasting time and gain the buyer’s trust. Set a fair price: Research similar listings to price your car competitively. Preparing Your Car for Sale A clean car, even a junk one, looks more appealing. Spend a bit of time to: Wash the exterior: Remove dirt and grime. Clean the interior: Vacuum and wipe down surfaces. Remove personal items: Ensure nothing is left behind. Remove Valuable Components If your car has valuable components that can be easily removed, consider selling them separately. This includes: Newer tires: If your tires are in great condition, they can be sold separately. Battery: A new or working battery can be sold or used in another vehicle. Aftermarket parts: Such as sound systems or specialty rims. Check for Recalls Sometimes, cars have parts that are under recall. Check with the manufacturer to see if any parts can be replaced for free before selling your car. This can increase its value. Negotiating the Sale Before you start negotiating, decide on the lowest price you're willing to accept. This will help you stay firm during negotiations and avoid selling for less than your car is worth. Highlight the Positives When talking to potential buyers, emphasize the positive aspects of your car: Parts in good condition: Highlight any parts that are still working well. Recent repairs: Mention any recent work done on the car. Unique features: Any features that might make the car more appealing. Finalizing the Deal If the buyer doesn't provide towing, you'll need to arrange for it. Some tips: Compare towing services: Look for the best price. Check with buyer: Some buyers might have preferred towing services or might be willing to cover the cost. Tips for a smooth sale: Be patient: Making a sale is not as easy as people tend to think, and it may take time to find the right buyer. Take your time; waiting for the right offer can help you increase the amount of money you receive.  Stay safe: If you meet a potential buyer, especially from one of the online platforms, protect yourself:  Meet in public places: Choose crowded and safe places for meetings.  Bring a friend: It is always good to have someone around as this makes you feel more secure. Finally, ensure you get paid in a secure method. Cash is often preferred, but if accepting checks, verify funds before completing the sale. By ML staff. Images courtesy of Unsplash.
