~ The City of Oakland Park, Fla., has been given a generous gift from Steve Hudson and the Hudson Family Fund to establish an endowed charitable fund at the Community Foundation of Broward.

At a check presentation ceremony held on the steps of Oakland Park City Hall, a ceremonial $50,000 check was presented by Hudson to Community Foundation President/CEO Jennifer O'Flannery Anderson, Ph.D. The fund will provide philanthropic support for community needs in the City of Oakland Park and will be managed in perpetuity by the Community Foundation of Broward.

Former City of Oakland Park Mayor and Community Foundation Board Member Jane Bolin was instrumental in establishing this fund, which is the first endowed charitable fund established for a city at the Community Foundation of Broward.

"We're here to announce a new fund that is being established specifically for the City of Oakland Park," said O'Flannery Anderson. "The fund that we're going to house at the Community Foundation will be another tool and asset that all of you have to improve your quality of life and to invest in parks or educational opportunities for kids, to invest in public art or the environment; the opportunities are limitless."

She continued, "Over time the fund will grow as additional business leaders and families step up to contribute to the fund. You are the first city to establish an endowed charitable fund that invests in your own community, and that is a huge accomplishment that will change lives for generations to come."

Officials from both Oakland Park and Broward County were present at this event, celebrating this momentous occasion.
