🎨 Meet Greer Sommer, the heart behind ASC’s art room, funded by our friends at the Taft Foundation!

For the past two years, Greer has created more than art. She’s created a space where those with all abilities can express themselves, try something new, and feel completely at home. 💙

✨In Greer’s magical art room, you’ll find:
🎨 Sculpting, drawing, painting & intentional creativity
🥣 Sound bowls and calming vibrations
💭 Space to explore thoughts, feelings & self-expression
💃 Plenty of dancing & laughter
🥰 Nicknames for just about everyone (Keith = “Admin,” Landon = “Coach,” Linda = “Sherlock”!)
❤️ A whole lot of love, friendship and encouragement

Greer constantly reminds us that art isn’t just about what you make. It’s about how you feel, connect, grow and discover what you’re capable of.

Thank you, Greer, for making the art room a place where we make the world more beautiful 🌎.

🧩 The Children's Services Council of Broward County is a big piece of the ASC puzzle — helping make programs possible for children, young adults, and families right here in our community.

Through more than $1 million in funding from the CSC, supported by local property tax dollars, Ann Storck Center provides three programs that strengthen individuals and families throughout Broward County.

This community investment helps ASC offer these life changing services for those with developmental disabilities:

🏡 Family Strengthening: Helping more than 30 families build safer, healthier, and more stable homes.

🎒 M.O.S.T. (Maximizing Out-of-School Time): Providing after-school and summer learning, enrichment, and inclusion for 53 children.

🤝 STEP (Supported Training & Employment Program): Preparing more than 36 young people with disabilities for employment through training and paid work experience.

Behind these numbers are children learning, families receiving support, and young adults building skills and independence. Over the next few weeks, we'll take a closer look at these ASC programs, the people they serve, and how local community investment helps make them possible.

Thank you, Children’s Services Council of Broward County, for your continued investment in Broward's children and families and your partnership with ASC. 💙

From loving her glam to campus mail deliveries, Yasmine is ASC’s very own postal princess 💌. A member of the Ann Storck Center family since 2001, Yasmine began her journey in our 75th Group Home in Plantation before moving to Genesis on our Fort Lauderdale campus in 2024.

Yasmine, who has Cerebral Palsy, attends our Adult Day Training (ADT) program each day for art, music, and even zumba! Known for her love of all things sparkles, she enjoys shopping, going out to eat in the community, and expressing her personal style. Whether she’s carrying one of her favorite purses or adding the perfect touch of lip gloss, Yasmine always shows up looking her best.

A proud Leo (she celebrated her birthday this month!), Yasmine brings confidence, and a bright personality wherever she goes. Her special role on campus is delivering interoffice mail, making her a familiar and friendly face throughout ASC. As she makes her daily rounds, Yasmine enjoys connecting with staff and residents alike, spreading smiles and building relationships across campus.✨

We are lucky to have someone like Yasmine at ASC, who shares her abilities with our family every day and calls Ann Storck Center her home 🏠

A vision + an incredible community = something pretty special. 💙

What started as a vision from our CEO, Pat Murphy, for a more welcoming entrance to ASC became a true community effort.

This Family Friday we celebrate the local businesses and friends who stepped up with their time, talents, materials, and resources to transform the entrance to ASC, and we were so excited to officially cut the ribbon! As if the moment couldn’t have been more special, a rainbow appeared during the ceremony, making the celebration even more memorable. 🌈

A special thank you to Eddie Waters for helping bring Pat’s vision to life and rallying an amazing group of partners around ASC.

And thank you to Custom Homes by Eddie Waters, Progressive Plastering, Austin Fox Architecture, Dovetail Landscaping, and Designer Sign Systems, Inc. for showing us once again what happens when a community comes together.

This is community. This is partnership. This is the ASC family. 💚💙

Last week at SOS Children’s Villages Florida! 💙 We loved welcoming several incredible community partners to our Village, giving them the opportunity to learn more about our mission, meet our team, and see firsthand the impact their support can have on the children, young adults, and families we serve.

A special thank you to Pinnacle Insurance for taking the time to tour our Village and explore ways we can partner together to create brighter futures. We look forward to building a meaningful relationship with your team!

Thank you to Lakeview Loan Servicing for their generous donation of school, craft, and activity supplies. Community partners like you help provide stability, opportunity, and hope for the children we serve every day, and we are so grateful for your support.

We were also honored to welcome Jay Brandt and Jessy Allain from the George Snow Scholarship Fund. Strong partnerships like this are invaluable to our Next Steps Program, helping ensure our young adults have access to the educational opportunities, mentorship, and resources they need to thrive long after they leave foster care.

Finally, thank you to Ann Storck Center for visiting our Village and taking the time to learn more about our mission. It was a wonderful opportunity to explore how our organizations can work together to better serve children, young adults, and individuals with developmental disabilities throughout our community.

Together, these partnerships strengthen our mission and help create brighter futures for every child we serve. Thank you for being part of the SOS family! 💙

A proud smile that says, “I did it.”
