FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The holiday spirit came alive as the community gathered for Children’s Harbor’s Boat Parade Watch Party Presented by Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers, held at the iconic Shooters Waterfront restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. The event offered an unforgettable evening of festive cheer and waterfront magic.
Attendees filled both indoor and outdoor seating areas while enjoying an all-you-can-eat feast, open bar, and a prime view from the restaurant’s waterfront. Guests were able to watch the lively boats, decked out in seasonal decor, cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway as part of the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade route. Most importantly, the spotlight shone brightly on the impactful work Children’s Harbor does for the families in our community.
“At Bernheim Kelley, we believe our work doesn’t stop with legal advocacy — it extends to uplifting the young people and families who make South Florida the place we’re proud to call home,” said Jesse Bernheim, Founding Partner, Bernheim Kelley Injury Lawyers. “Nights like this reflect what’s possible when a community rallies around its most vulnerable youth. We’re grateful to support Children’s Harbor and the life-changing resources they provide.”
Everyone who attended in support of Children’s Harbor played a vital role in helping to support and equip teens affected by trauma and abuse through the resources offered at the organization. Children’s Harbor is a nationally accredited nonprofit organization that provides safe shelter to teens in foster care while strengthening families in our community. With its main campus in Pembroke Pines, its services include free in-home counseling to prevent children from entering foster care and a Maternity Home program for safe intergenerational living for teen mothers.
