CHILDREN'S OPPORTUNITY GROUP
About US
The Children's Opportunity Group (COG) is a group of women dedicated to supporting and enriching the health, education, and welfare of children in Broward County.
We celebrated 75 years of giving at our annual luncheon and fashion presentation on March 8, 2024 at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa. This year's event raised more than $200,000, a record for us!
​
COG has contributed more than $1.7 Million from this annual fundraiser with 100% of net proceeds benefiting multiple local nonprofits and well-established organizations focused on children.

Celebrating Over 75 Years of Giving
The organizations and centers we support make great use of the funds they request and the needs they can satisfy beyond their extraordinary commitment to these children.
