Today we remember Jason Jenkins who dedicated his life to uniting the South Florida community and left behind a timeless legacy. He was a dear friend and board member of YWCA South Florida. We were so honored to partner with the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium Football UNITES™ for the Jason Jenkins Day of Service. Volunteers came out to all four of our early childhood education sites to plant community gardens, read to the children and join them in enrichment activities. Thank you for making this such a special day in memory of a trailblazing community icon.
