The Children's Trust hosted its sixth annual Champions for Children awards ceremony just recently in south Florida. It honored the exceptional individuals who dedicate their time and services to the children of south Florida. The Children's Trust is an altruistic humanitarian organization committed to the children and families of our south Florida community. It operates on a simple motto, Madam Speaker: "Because all children are our children." It is this belief that has motivated the Children's Trust since its inception in the year 2002. It has collaborated with children and parents throughout our community in an attempt to strengthen the family bond and to help facilitate opportunities to allow the children of south Florida to achieve their full potential. I encourage all throughout our community to take an interest in this great organization because, indeed, all children are our children.
