Braddock Debate

Jaclyn Elisse Torrealba was a student at G. Holmes Braddock High School and a member of our debate team.  She was taken from us on October 11, 2009; a victim of teen dating violence.  Rebecca Ledesma and Elizabeth Tejeda organized a benefit in order to raise awareness about Teen Dating Violence and raise funds for Jackie's scholarship at FIU.  We were fortunate enough to have support from Palace Reception Ballroom, Tosca Flowers, and other organizations and individuals who donated items for a raffle.  Including Miam Heat tickets.
