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 our milestone 75th anniversary in 2024.
Our annual Spring luncheon is our biggest fundraiser, raising between $150,000 to $200,000 each year. Over the years we have contributed more than $2 Million. 100% of net proceeds benefit 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.
