Lauderdale Lakes – The Kiwanis Club of Lauderdale Lakes will honor Edward Miller of Tech Edventures, Inc. and Smart School Charter Middle at the Seventh Annual Grand Charity Ball to be held on Saturday September 10, 2005. The black tie event will take place at the opulent Signature Grand, 6900 State Road 84, Davie, Florida.
Ed Miller is the CEO of Tech Edventures Inc., an organization committed to integrating technology with school innovation and community empowerment programming. Mr. Miller is also the inspiration and developer of Smart School Inc. an innovative charter school concept launched in 1998.
Smart School exists because Mr. Miller struggled in elementary school and was labeled a below grade level performer so he always held a passion for designing a learning environment that understood how to uncover a student’s passion for learning. To accomplish his later academic successes, he was fortunate to have many strong and creative educators as family members who understood how to diagnose missing academic development, and facilitate remedial learning.
The Annual Grand Charity Ball is the premier undertaking of the Kiwanis Club of Lauderdale Lakes/West Sunrise and since 1999 has resulted in the distribution of over $210,000 to various deserving charities including SOS Children’s Village; Susan B Anthony Home & Recovery Center, African-American Research Library, Air Jamaica Lovebird Kids; Caribbean Heart Menders’ Association; and the Club’s Scholarship Fund.
Club President Michelle Cyrus-Brown in commenting on the club’s premier event remarked, “The event promises to be spectacular and will showcase our club’s achievements. We look forward to once again partnering with our community partners and supporters and we continue to change the world , one community and one child at a time.”
