RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. â In honor of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, several groups around the Treasure Coast and South Florida will spend the day performing acts of service.
A diverse group of local organizations are standing together for a powerful day of unity in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. s vision of equality. More than 50 volunteers will join the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County and Palm Beach Atlantic University in a day-long outreach event.
You might say Tyler Scheuer has found just the right balance in his life.
The Newtown Township man, who has made a living for most of the last three years balancing everything from ladders to chairs to bicycles on his nose and chin, has landed a spot on national television. He will appear on the TBS Go-Big Show 9 p.m. on Thursday.
He said the TV spot has come along at just the right time since his act, which he performs about 100 times a year at halftime and other breaks at various college and professional sporting events, has been sidelined the last 10 months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
When the Florida legislature opened the door for dozens of new specialty license plates in a new law passed in 2020, it also signaled the demise of low performers after Jan. 1 of each year.
Thirty-year-old medical student Emmanuel McNeely considers his life goal and God-given calling to work toward gender and racial diversity in medicine.
“That way we can help eliminate health disparities and really improve health outcomes for all races,” said McNeely, a 2012 graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University currently pursuing his doctorate in medicine at the Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine.
As an African American med student planning to specialize in orthopedic surgery, McNeely believes his career ambitions are a direct result of a surgeon who took the time to mentor him. He has co-founded The Dr. M.D. Project to provide more minority students with guidance in the field. The project earned McNeely the 2021 Young Alumni Award from the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU).
