Chapter Coach Joel Zanville’s daughter and son-in-law visited the Els Center of Excellence.  They were so impressed with the school that they gifted a bench located in The Sensory Garden for Coach Joel’s birthday. The pair was inspired by our First Tee Coaches conducting the golf program at the Els Center and by seeing firsthand all that is done for students on the autism spectrum. Thank you Coach Joel for all the hard work you do for our students.

We recently renovated our 3,000 square foot deck at the Finnegan Learning Center in Dyer Park.  The project consisted of replacing old joists and the complete replacement of the decking material.  TimberTech sponsored the project and donated over $40,000 in decking and hardware.

In preparation for the TimberTech Championship to be held at Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, the Media Day for the tournament was held at our facility on the new deck.  Representatives from TimberTech, the golf tournament, and the Boca Raton Regional Hospital were present and spoke about the importance of the tournament.
