Our community participation goes beyond a donation as we embrace a hands-on approach in assisting our neighbors. With our philanthropic efforts, Derek Schwartz has received numerous awards including Humanitarian of the year, and a key to the city where our offices are located, Deerfield Beach.
Thanksgiving Helpers
For over 15 years we have delivered complete Thanksgiving Day Dinners including turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables, dessert and all the trimmings to over 50 families annually. We spend the morning driving personally to each and every house to hand delivery these delicious feasts! It is great to share the holiday spirit and aid in making the holiday a little more cheerful for others. With the help of Broward Sheriff’s office, we estimate that over the years we’ve provided meals to thousands people in need.
Make a Difference Day
This national day of recognition brings everyone together in a day of helping others. We do our part by repainting homes of the elderly, yard work, fence repair and more. We also work continually with the Organization for Guatemalan Orphans. This organization collects and disperses needed goods among local Guatemalan farm workers. We take part by donating related items from our studio and warehouse, or personally from our homes.
National Night Out
America’s night out against crime is a community watch event. This is a great night for the community organizations, citizens, and law enforcement to come together and promote community partnership. In our part to build a community for a safer nation, we donate prizes for raffling and competitions. To see when your National Night Out is and how can participate, visit:

Youth wrestling
The Schwartz group sponsors many youth programs in the local area. The Youth Wrestling organization is one we are particularly close with and work with frequently. Our efforts are geared towards sending teams to regional and state competitions and make sure they have all the necessary resources to compete.
Toys for Tots
Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which donates toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. Toys for Tots is a very successful and longstanding donation service, running strong since 1947. Donating to such a great cause is a very fulfilling part of the holidays, and one we take pride participating in.
