Career City 2018

Career City 2018 took place on Wednesday, May 23 2018.

At this event, students experienced firsthand what it felt like to take a walk through a safe and inviting city which had been created just for them for this special day. As they strolled through ‘Career City’, students learned about a wide variety of industries and engaged with professionals from our local businesses and organizations in a fun and inviting environment. After stepping out of Career City, they took the first steps on the roadmap to their future!

IMPORTANT FACTS

98% of Dillard Elementary students walk to school, are from single-parent homes and get their food intake while they are attending school. Most of the Dillard Elementary students have never traveled outside a five-mile radius of their neighborhood. Many of these students also never had the opportunity to walk into a real grocery store, an office supply store, a bank, a flower shop or even a restaurant. Dillard Elementary students are sweet, friendly and well behaved. The students have experienced a lack of exposure, so they want and need a chance to learn and grow.

With your help, we can fill Career City streets with an exciting group of industry professionals. This was the perfect opportunity to inspire the next generation of South Florida’s professionals.

Career City 2017 was Outstanding

Career City 2017 was Outstanding at Dillard Elementary!

73 companies and 219 volunteers and community partners showed up to teach students about their industry at Career City 2017.

Ranger Good Works, Dillard Elementary teachers, staff, students and I would like to personally give our attending companies and volunteers a ‘heartfelt thanks’ for the support they gave to Career City 2017 to help make it a HUGE success! 

Our volunteers and participating companies shared their time and talent with our children, improving their lives by helping build their hopes and dreams for their future. They showed compassion, generosity, and were aware of the deep need to share their skills and knowledge with their students. This year’s Career City was our first “all grades inclusive” attempt at Career City, and it went just like it did last year. Outstanding!

To quote Martin Luther King, Jr.:   “Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace.  A soul generated by love. “

Without our many Ft. Lauderdale companies and volunteers, Career City wouldn’t have the success it does.

Neiman Marcus Love To Give Fundraiser: December 2015

In 2015, Ranger Good Works was chosen by the Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation to benefit from the 2015 Neiman Marcus Love to Give Collection for the 2nd year in a row! During the months of November and December, 10% of all sales generated from items in the Love to Give collection purchased from the Fort Lauderdale, FL store supported Ranger Good Works’ goal of helping almost 1,000 underprivileged students in a Youth Arts Education fundraising initiative.

Together we are changing the lives of students by meeting their basic needs, giving them love, and enhancing the educational tools they so desperately need.

Impact Girls Gala

Impact Girls Gala – 2015

Impact Girls Gala

Impact Girls Gala

On April 24 2015, we had the honor of attending the Impact Girl’s Spring Gala and Awards dinner alongside our partner, Neiman Marcus. The event featured live performances, a fashion show presented by the students and concluded with an award ceremony. Ranger Good works is extremely proud of club leader, Ms. Angela Dix, and her ability to empower the lives of such young girls. It was very inspiring to witness firsthand how dedicated and disciplined the Impact girls are. As our bond with Dillard continues to grow, so does our passion for watching each one of them transform into beautiful butterflies.
Congrats Impact Girls!

The Neiman Marcus Love to Give Collection – Holiday reception benefiting Dillard Elementary School

Neiman Marcus Love To Give 2014

Neiman Marcus Fort Lauderdale and Ranger Good Works presented The Love to Give Collection on Wednesday, November 5th, 2014. This event kicked off a fundraising endeavor that will last through December 24th, during which time 10% of all sales generated from items in The Love to Give Collection will benefit Ranger Good Works in support of Dillard Elementary School.

During the reception, an undecorated Holiday tree came to life with every donation. We made it bright and beautiful for the 900 underprivileged students of Dillard Elementary School. Together we are changing the lives of these students by meeting their basic needs, giving them love, and augmenting the educational tools they so desperately need.

The Young At Art museum volunteered their artists and time to assist in the creation of a masterpiece with the students from Dillard which was on display during the event. Attendees enjoyed the outstanding performances from the Impact Girls, the Eagles Step Team, the Dillard Drum Line, and Ms. Marguerita’s Dancers. The Martin Men wowed the crowd with their charming manners while serving chocolates and smiles.

Thank you to all who attended and all who continue to support our efforts!

The Heart of Neiman Marcus

On July 19, Neiman Marcus stores across the country partnered local nonprofit charities involved in the arts and helping children. Neiman Marcus Fort Lauderdale in the Galleria Mall partnered with Ranger Good Works, a nonprofit organization that provides volunteer programs and resources for local communities’ most under-resourced populations, to host a shopping event benefiting Dillard Elementary School. Performances took place by Dillard Elementary School students involved in the school groups IMPACT Girls and the D Phi E Stepping Eagles as well as dancers from the Fort Lauderdale Parks Department’s Kuumba Arts Dance Academy. Through Young At Art Museum, Dillard Elementary School students also created butterflies, which are a signature of Neiman Marcus.

TEAMWORK was Ranger Technical Resources’ word of the day this past Saturday at the Heart of Neiman Marcus event held in Fort Lauderdale. Throughout the store you could find our team members lending a helping hand to all of the guests who came out to support Ranger Good Works and Dillard Elementary School. With smiles on our faces, we all had a heartwarming story to share with others about why we enjoy supporting Dillard.

Neiman Marcus opened their doors just for us at 9am, an hour earlier then their usual store hours. This allowed us to connect with our members while doing something exciting – SHOPPING! Not only did the Ranger Tech and Ranger Good Works team raise money by selling over 100 tickets to the event, they put on their networking shoes and gained new community friends and partners!

Ten percent of ALL the merchandise sales were donated to a great cause, the start of an Art Program for 800 deserving Dillard students. Ranger Tech and Ranger Good Works encouraged everyone to “Shop Til’ They Dropped” that day. At the end of the event, TEAMWORK really paid off! Neiman Marcus was so excited to share with us that our goal was exceeded and that Dillard Elementary School would be able to start their Art Program with an incredible amount of money!

KUDOS to Ranger Technical Resources and Ranger Good Works. We did it! WE made it happen because we all have a HEART!
