Citibank, Team-Metro, Union Transport International and West Dade Federation of Homeowner Associations
Nominated by Doral Middle School
Doral’s Dade Partners were intrigued by the title of this year’s Red Ribbon Campaign – “Plant A Seed to Be Drug Free”. Together they formed a team to raise the community’s awareness regarding drug prevention and create an attendance behavior modification program. Through their homeroom class, every student wrote a promise that was included on a class poster. As student’s read their pledges they planted a plant in the school’s garden. The four Dade Partners, Citibank, Team-Metro, United Transport International (UTI) and the West Dade Federation of Homeowner Associations, raised funds for to contract a landscaping company for the garden and has supported the program year-round.
Citibank followed their commitment of the Red Ribbon Campaign, with a $200.00 grant from Citigroup Foundation. This grant is directly tied to an attendance program, and the beautification project through the agriscience classes. Team-Metro has teamed up with the Trust Counselor to mentor those students with poor attendance and supports the Saturday School Program. UTI has a weekly editorial in the local newspapers that addresses drug awareness and peer pressure. West Dade Federation of Homeowner Associations under the direction of its President, (Mr. Morgan Levy), offers free “Junior Membership” to students encouraging them to become involved in their community. All four Dade Partners come from different business backgrounds, have different interests; yet one common goal — to enhance the educational program at Doral Middle.
