SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers announced today that in celebration of Black History Month, they have launched the fifth season of their ‘Celebration of Black Excellence’ Series presented by Amazon which recognizes South Florida community members going above and beyond.
From Black executives, owners to educators, producers and healthcare workers, the ‘Celebration of Black Excellence’ series recognizes individuals that were nominated by colleagues, friends, family and more for giving back to the South Florida community. Starting next week, all of the honorees’ stories will be announced throughout the month at FloridaPanthers.com and on Panthers social media channels.
