Embracing a Deep Roots, Strong Futures theme, The Carver Child of America Gala hosted its annual fundraiser at Shorehaven Golf Club. Some of the nonprofit’s outreach includes educational enrichment, job support, food services, a summer camp and teen center. Guests were moved by speaker Jasmine Brown, a program alumna, who spoke about her impressive path from Carver student to entrepreneur and business owner with two master’sdegrees. Another highlight was the Carver’s 2025 Child of America honoree Marcus Shaw, who inspired the crowd with his mission for equityin education. Since 1943, The Carver Center has helped the community through programs that “nourish, educate and empower.” carvercenter.org
