eTradeWire News/10770722
FORT MYERS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Valerie's House hosted members of the Southwest Florida Gator Club Saturday, May 18, for "Baking with Gators" day in the new kitchen of the Family Is Forever Home in Fort Myers.
It was a sea of orange and blue as alumni of the University of Florida baked Gator-inspired cookies with the children and teens of Valerie's House, a non-profit organization that helps children grieve the loss of loved ones.
"Everybody had a great time baking cookies in the shape of Gators, then decorating them with frosting and sprinkles. We are very grateful to the Southwest Florida Gator Club for selecting Valerie's House for their annual Gator day of service," said Valerie's House Founder and CEO Angela Melvin Churchill, who also is a University of Florida graduate.
International Gator Day is the annual community service day when Gator Clubs throughout the United States unite to utilize the size and spirit of the Gator Nation to impact their communities.
