DIVERSITY AWARD 
Our Executive Director Marlon Torres has won a "Leaders in Diversity Award" from the Triangle Business Journal. This award honors companies and individuals who have shown an exceptional commitment to promoting practices that advance diversity in the workplace and in business leadership. Marlon won his award in the Non Profit Leader area, for "an individual who advocates for diversity and multi culturalism in their organization and the community." The luncheon timing found Marlon out of town, so LEAP Program Manager Kim Demery accepted the award on Marlon's behalf last week. Congratulations Marlon!

WORLD WIDE DAY OF PLAY 
On Sept. 29, our LEAP Team gave a showcase performance at the World Wide Day of Play at the Kidzu Children's Museum. It was their first public performance of the season and they wowed the audience. The LEAP Team has a full performing schedule this year and debuted the year by participating in a private donor event and performing, then also exhibited their dancing skills at the Kidzu Museum along with several other dancers in the area.
