Heat Guard, Dwayne Wade, made a visit to Lauderhill on July 16 to present a check for $25,000 for City Hall Park. The grant came from a contest hosted by Staples, who has been a tremendous community partner since coming to Lauderhill a year ago. Fourteen parks were nominated, and the top vote through the Internet won the $25,000 for that park. The other parks received $2500 each. Of the over 200,000 votes, Lauderhill received about 1/3 of the votes cast.
The event was a hit with everyone in attendance. Five people won an autographed Heat Jersey signed by Dwayne. Media coverage was heavy. The funds received primarily went to the rebuilding of the basketball court at City Hall Park (to be renamed "John E. Mullin Park"). The remaining funds will go toward general capital improvements planned for the park.
