As founder and President of the Lil Abner Foundation, I am humbled and blessed with our progress in the past 16 years.
I feel committed to continue to serve this community. We have been able to advance our Tutoring, Archery, and Taekwondo programs. The Free S.A.T. Prep course for High School students has been a huge success in helping students increase their scores tremendously. For the second year in a row, our Dance program has been a great place to develop the artistic side of our students. The Archery program from Belen Preparatory School continues, and it has officially accepted it as its newest club.
The Annual Disney on Wheels event was a tremendous success. We were able to offer 50 medically fragile children with special needs from Miami Dade County the opportunity to visit Disney’s Magic Kingdom for the first time.
We have continued to offer scholastic programs, including scholarships for children from 6th to 12th grades to attend Belen Jesuit Preparatory School and scholarships for adults to attend Florida International University to earn a degree. The goal is simple: improve the lives of all residents in our community.
Because we are aware that our services are needed in our community of Sweetwater, we will continue with our goals to raise the necessary funds to serve these citizens. With your prayers and contributions, we hope to continue inspiring individuals and companies to support our efforts by partnering with and sponsoring the events hosted by the Li’l Abner Foundation.
WITH YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT, THE FUTURE LOOKS VERY BRIGHT!
Raul F. Rodriguez
President
