Boxing
Brings Hope
(PBG Lifestyle Magazine, July 2010) In early

Club 100 Supports Building School In Haiti
Club 100 Charities donated $1000 to an
effort led by Pastor Henry Dulcio from the
New Generation Christian Temple located in
Riviera Beach.
Pastor Henry’s church has
for years sponsored a Christian School in
Haiti, and it was completely destroyed by a
hurricane two years ago. Club 100 not only
donated funds, but George Crouse P.E. (VP
Club 100) is a structural engineer and has
made blueprints for a new school. George
may accompany Pastor Henry to Haiti in June
to inspect the building site and insure the
local tradesman understand the plans and get
off to a good start. The fundraiser was
held at Kendall Community School gym on
Saturday May 12th, and included
Haitian cuisine and entertainment. The 100
persons attending had a great time.
