Approximately 150 prominent business owners and community leaders joined the Children's Harbor Board of Directors, Sponsors and Donors for an outstanding evening with a view of the 2009 Winterfest Boat Parade and dinner at Charlie's Crab Waterfront Restaurant, Ft Lauderdale.

The exciting evening was a benefit for Children's Harbor, a 501(c) (3) non-profit child welfare organization working in cooperation with the City of Pembroke Pines. "Every child deserves a loving and supportive home and the dollars raised tonight help us provide that to sibling groups and pregnant and parenting teens within the foster care system," said Sue Glasscock, President and CEO of Children's Harbor.

The event included a presentation of the Symetra Community Champion Award by Stan Emert of Symetra Financial to William Mahoney, the Founder of Children's Harbor and President of Mahoney & Asociates. The Symetra Community Champion Awards celebrate those who have given a lifetime of volunteer service providing significant benefits to the community. In honor of the award, Symetra presented Children's Harbor with a financial donation.

Key corporate sponsors included: Mahoney&Associates, New York Life, Citrix Corporation, Geo Care, Delta Dental, Comerica Bank, AutoNation, Symetra Financial, Holland & Knight, BankAtlantic, Humana, NCCI, Thornburg Investment Management, Legal-Eze Litigation Consulting & Graphics, Celebrity Cruises, and Karla, Julie & Jeff Nickell.
