Our answer is that we want no gifts for us. If you feel so compelled, we ask that you donate to one of our meaningful charities, SEAFARERS' HOUSE or THE BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, the venue for our wedding reception. Jon and I first met through Seafarers' House back in 2015 and I serve as the Vice Chair of The Broward Center Foundation Board. Here are descriptions of each of these wonderful charities along with a donation link which of course is tax deductible. Seafarers' House at Port Everglades operates as a multi-faith mission and hospitality center with the mission "to offer refuge, resources, renewal and respect to the maritime community through multi-faith service". It serves as a "home away from home" for crew members, providing a safe place for rest, communication, and aid. https://secure.qgiv.com/for/jonhinesannburriswedding/ The mission of the Broward Performing Arts Foundation is to sustain, develop, and secure the future of the performing arts in Broward County, Florida, primarily by providing support for the programming, educational activities, operations, and capital development of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. https://www.browardcenter.org/support/annburriswedding
