BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — Broward County Commissioner Hazelle P. Rogers is holding a press conference Friday to encourage residents to support relief efforts for Hurricane Melissa, which caused widespread damage in Jamaica and other Caribbean islands.
The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill. Rogers, a native of Jamaica, will be joined by a coalition of elected officials and community leaders with ties to the Caribbean.
The press conference will spotlight Broward County’s coordinated donation drive and encourage residents to contribute essential supplies at designated drop-off locations.
Rogers is expected to emphasize the role of the Caribbean diaspora and the power of community action in helping Jamaica recover and rebuild.
