Community Outreach
Celebrating Life Together!

“All through the year, the chorus strives to give back to our community by
performing at a variety of worthy events,” said Todd Wiley, FTLGMC director. “

For some of our chorus members, the holiday season starts by singing carols at various locations and distributing scores of stuffed animals that many chorus members donate. Young patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood and residents of Broward Nursing and Rehabilitation in Fort Lauderdale and the Palm Court Nursing Home in Wilton Manors, just to name a few, enthusiastically welcome the visiting performers, appreciating the stuffed animals, the lively carols and, most
importantly, the spirit of goodwill behind it all.

In a thank-you note, a nurse manager at the Children’s Hospital said that ‘Your songs brought warmth into all of our hearts and definitely brought forth the Christmas Spirit for our patients, their families and our staff.’ We were proud to be told we were welcome back anytime.

Before our Holiday Concert , the chorus hosts a dinner, gifts, holiday arts and crafts, a visit by Santa and singing for families from the Broward House. This festive event is held at the chorus’ home base, the Sunshine Cathedral, and is always a highlight of the volunteer singing group’s holiday season.

During our 2008-2009 season, the chorus members gathered donated items from local businesses for drawings at each of their 7 concerts. The money raised by these drawings was donated to 7 local charities elected by the chorus members: Broward House, Children’s Home Society, Habitat for Humanity, Poverello, Joe Dimaggio Children’s Hospital, The Pantry of Broward and the Humane Society of Broward County.
