Daytona Beach, FL — The SMA Healthcare Foundation is proud to announce that it has received a $25,000 grant from the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation (OMYF) in support of SMA Healthcare’s BEACH House Program.
The $25,000 award aligns with the OMYF’s mission “to help children in Central Florida realize their full potential, especially those most at risk, by supporting nonprofit organizations offering youth‑based programs in the areas of education, health and wellness, arts, and homelessness prevention.” This funding marks only the second time OMYF has made a grant to a nonprofit located in VolusiaCounty.
The BEACH House Program, operated by SMA Healthcare, provides short‑term residential respite for youth ages 10‑17 who are truant, runaway, ungovernable, or homeless, offering shelter, meals, individual and group counseling, educational activities, and family therapy. Its goal is reunification with the family and strengthening communication and relationships within the family unit.
“With this generous grant from the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation, we can enhance the support SMA Healthcare provides to young people in crisis in Volusia County,” said Jennifer Secor, Executive Director, SMA Healthcare Foundation. “BEACH House works to stabilize lives, restore hope, and build the foundations for stronger family connections.”
The funds will be used to expand and sustain crucial services at BEACH House — including counseling, educational programs, and family therapy — supporting more youth in Volusia County who need a temporary safe space and the tools to reconnect with their families.
