About the Heights Foundation and the Heights Center
The Heights Foundation works to build self-sufficient families in the Harlem Heights neighborhood. The mission is to support education and wellness, promote family and community development, and provide the benefits of enrichment and the arts. The Heights Center, supported by The Heights Foundation, is a place for Education, Opportunity, and Enrichment. GLAD Kids is a child care and pre-k center serving 90 children birth-five. The Harlem Heights Community Charter School currently serves kindergarten through fifth grade.
Harlem Heights was originally settled as a rural agricultural community. Approximately 780 children live in a mixture of single-family homes and multi-family apartments. Demographically, the population is approximately 70% Hispanic, 20% African-American, and 8% Caucasian. The poverty rate for children in Harlem Heights is more than twice the county average, with family income 40% below the county average. Families are not able to easily access family support services located in downtown Fort Myers, and benefit greatly from programs located within the neighborhood.

Even as we celebrate a 27% decline in cancer death rates over the past 25 years, we know there is much left to do.
Because 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, we are assisting with fundraising efforts for the American Cancer Society (ACS). By raising essential funds, ACS can fund cutting-edge research, provide free services to those fighting cancer and offer grassroots education to reduce cancer risks.

You can also pick up in either south Cape Coral or Fort Myers if you contact us to schedule a meeting.
Tickets in advance are $10 per person. The day of the event, tickets will be $15 for the driver and $10 for each passenger that is participating in the poker game.
