In 1994 a group of residents from Atlantis visited Palm Beach Habilitation Center and were deeply moved by the sight of people there who, despite physical and emotional disabilities, ere working diligently to learn the skills needed to live and work to their greatest level of independence. They also learned that the Center was desperately in need of resources for serious maintenance problems and capital expenditures and they were determined to do something about it. As a result, they organized, called themselves Centurions, “adopted” the Center, and invited others to join them and give their financial support each year. The response has been wonderful. There are now more than 170 Centurions! |
