My very good friend, DeAnne Connolly Graham, died recently. I have been asked to lead her recently named DeAnne Connolly Graham Foundation. She was the Chairwoman of Ayuda, a non-profit organization for children. I’ve decided to accept the position. The mission of AYUDA is to help improve the lives of children and families who are underserved and / or at risk in South Florida through education, life skills training, and programs that support self-sufficiency.
