DONATE NOW: Save the Wayne Barton Study Center

I never imagined that I would be in this position, facing the imminent threat of foreclosure, and losing the Wayne Barton Study Center due to financial pandemic hardships.

For the past 22 years, I have created cultivated and nurtured the Wayne Barton Study Center to be a lifeline to thousands of underserved families throughout Florida’s Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties.

Now, the COVID-19 pandemic has placed the Center’s existence in question. With donors pulling back amid financial insecurity, and lack of income from facility rentals and annual fundraising efforts, our Center is in danger of foreclosure.

Located in the low-income area of Boca Raton’s Pearl City, we provide hot meals, homework assistance, college scholarship and crime prevention programs, along with other vital assistance to thousands of children and families across the tri-county area. To save the center AND continue to provide services to the most underserved population in the tri-county area, we need to raise $3 million…hopefully by Christmas.

For many years, our organization has been so very fortunate to have the generosity and support our caring donors.

And I turn to you now, to please help us save the Wayne Barton Study Center which is so much more than a building.

It has become a concrete place of real salvation for children, mothers, fathers and all who need and depend on our help during desperate times.

I have made it my life’s mission to give back to the community, and I am turning to you now to please help me continue my life's mission to help children and families in need.

Thank you,

Wayne Barton
