Prominent attorney and cable television
executive Willie E. Gary, along with his partners, boxing champion Evander
Holyfield, baseball great Cecil Fielder and broadcast veteran Alvin James
recently brought Making Better Communities, a nationwide grassroots campaign
aimed at educating and empowering people to improve their quality of life in
four areas - education, health, finance and technology - to the South Florida
area.
Adelphia Cable, another nationwide supporter of Making Better Communities,
teamed with MBC to take the tour to the St. Mary's Children's Hospital, where
Gary, Holyfield, Fielder and James visited patients, doctors and parents from
the hospital's pediatric wing.
"This is what our network is all about," Gary said while visiting
patients in the hospital's pediatric care unit. "We want to have a positive
impact on people's lives. We want everyone to know that our network is committed
to instituting positive changes from within the community. We want to show
people how they can instill a positive daily outlook that includes healthy
living, the power of a good education, taking charge of personal finances and
getting ahead through the use of today's technological advances."
