In addition to excellence in academics, particularly science, Carver High School was also known for its sports teams. The Carver Eagles football team was undefeated in their 1950 season and won two consecutive Class B football titles in 1968 and 1969. Carver’s track teams won 29 conference championships, six regional championships, and two state championships. Carver sports were the heart of Delray Beach and truly embodied the town’s spirit. The entire city gathered to watch Carver play and cheer on the Eagles in hometown matches and meets.

“A Season of Peace: Caring for Your Mind, Body, and Spirit During the Holidays” is the topic for a webinar offered by the Church of the Brethren’s Intercultural Ministries on Dec. 16 at 12 noon (Eastern time).
“Amid packed schedules, ministry responsibilities, family expectations, and unspoken grief, the holidays can overwhelm even the strongest hearts,” said an announcement. “This uplifting session invites clergy, congregants, and caregivers to step into a moment of rest and renewal.
“We will discuss practical ways to maintain emotional, mental, and spiritual health while honoring the rhythms of Sabbath rest, self-care, and sacred boundaries. Through scripture, reflection, and evidence-based wellness practices, participants will learn how to cultivate peace, reconnect with purpose, and hold space for others—without losing themselves in the process.”
The speakers are:
— Kenya Chaney Madison of Kaleidoscope Solutions & Co., a healing-centered practitioner, mental health strategist, and spiritual wellness advocate who has served as senior director of Healthier Delray Beach, Fla., an initiative launched in 2014 to strengthen behavioral health in Delray Beach’s historically Black neighborhoods; and
— Founa A. Badet, director of Intercultural Ministries who also is part of the district executive leadership team in Atlantic Southeast District, a “circuit rider” for Haitian Creole multi-vocational pastors, pastor of the Jesus Lounge Ministry in Delray Beach, and certified in Mental Health First Aid from the National Council of Mental Wellbeing.

💚 Why We Walk
Every step we take is in memory of someone we’ve lost.
Every step we take is for someone still silently struggling.
Every step we take is for those who smile while surviving.

This year, we walk with purpose — and with a movement.
Get Your Green On is more than a campaign; it’s a call to action for mental health awareness, su***de prevention, and trauma-informed healing — 365 days a year.

🎯 Our Fundraising Goal: $1,365+
We’ve set our team goal to honor our year-round movement: .
But our faith is bigger than our goal — let’s stretch toward $2,025, celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Get Your Green On and the healing we’ve built, step by step. 👣

🌍 Why NAMIWalks? Why Now?
Because NAMI saves lives.
Because mental wellness is a right, not a privilege.
Because someone you know needs to know there is help, hope, and a place to belong.

Your participation supports:
Free mental health education and support groups
Advocacy for life-saving policy change
Local programs in Palm Beach County and beyond
Even if you can’t walk physically, you can walk with us in spirit. Give. Share. Show up. Speak out.

Let’s lead by example — showing what it looks like when Black public administrators walk in purpose, partnership, and power for the well-being of all.

Together, we are
Together, we are
