WHO WE ARE

With over $2 Million Dollars donated since inception in January of 2007, Rodriguez Charities continues to lead the way in community relations. Dedication, teamwork and commitment is the hallmark of the Rodriguez Charity organization. With children development, veteran assistance and community assistance as our focal point, Rodriguez Charities sets the pace for others to follow.

Running solely on volunteers and overhead, this allows Rodriguez Charities to donate an astonishing 100% of all net proceeds.

Our "Team Focused, Everyone Wins" concept is our unique approach to charity fundraising, everyone commits to the event, everyone goes into the attack mode.
End result is successful events for Rodriguez Charities!

OUR FOUNDER

Jose R. Rodriguez

Born and raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico; Jose embarked on a patriotic way of life by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. After serving a successful six years in the Marine Corps he received an honorable discharge. Still having a burning desire to protect and serve, Joe additionally served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Era, and the U.S. Navy during the Beirut Bombing conflict. Jose is a fine example of patriotism and American citizen.

A father of six children, and married to his wonderful wife Julie for the past 30 years, reside in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A devoted family man who always gives 110% towards his children's education and extracurricular activities, Jose has always had the desire in his heart to give that same effort towards other children less fortunate. As a successful business owner, Jose has provided many families with opportunities through employment and personal contributions. A passion for goodwill and helping the less fortunate clearly describes Jose Rodriguez.

In January 2007 Jose Rodriguez successfully became an official 501(c)3 charity known as "Rodriguez Charities". Since January 2007 Rodriguez Charities has set record donating numbers within the Broward, Palm Beach and Dade counties. As of January 19th, 2011 Rodriguez Charities will hit their "Half a Million" donation mark at one of the Palm Beach County local school's donation ceremony. The raising and donating will not stop there though! Rodriguez Charities has big donation plans following their 6th Annual Golf Tournament currently being planned for the next years!
