Thank You for Making the
Obama Roosevelt Legacy Gala
a Night To Remember!
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Broward Democratic Party, thank you for joining us at the 2025 Obama Roosevelt Legacy Gala on Saturday, May 31st at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood.
Thanks to your unwavering support and generosity, we surpassed our $100,000 fundraising goal , a powerful investment in the fight to preserve democracy in 2026 and beyond. These funds will help to fuel our year round organizing and Get Out The Vote programs to help elect democrats up and down the ballot in 2026.

[[link removed]] Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz reminded us that “Trump and MAGA Republicans are trying to destroy our country from within,” and DNC Vice Chair Ken Martin made it clear: “Democracy is hanging in the balance.” Their words echoed the urgency and unity our movement demands.
This victory belongs to each of you — our sponsors , hosts , clubs , attendees and volunteers who stepped up to show the strength of the Broward Democratic family.
We extend our deepest gratitude to:
