Florida’s Guardian ad Litem program recognized Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation as the agency’s statewide Nonprofit of the Year awardee for its work in helping foster children in the 12th Judicial Circuit.
Toni Latortue, director for the 12th Circuit Guardian ad Litem program, nominated Barancik Foundation for the impact the organization had on 428 children in the program. Financial support from Barancik Foundation paid for academic tutoring for most of these children and ensured many received essential supplies and recreational items. In addition, these efforts helped 28 children through the family reunification process with rent assistance, transportation and kitchen items.
Presenting the award to Barancik Foundation during a virtual event, Alan Abramowitz, executive director of Florida’s Guardian ad Litem program, said, “The foundation embodies the program’s core values in the work they do every day.” Barancik Foundation’s support also assisted in training 112 new volunteers and hosting 14 volunteer events to provide continuing education and recognition for the work they do and help recruit others.
