Austen is a longtime volunteer of Winterfest and the events associated with it. On Saturday, December 3, 2022 Austen saved a man’s life by performing CPR when the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino worker went down in front of us. It was at Midnight and the Gala had just ended and all our guests were gone. Austen recognized what was happening and started CPR right away when we saw he was turning blue and not breathing. He did 10 rounds BY HAND as the ballroom is in the back of the property, it took some time for the medics to arrive on scene.

Like many parents, when their son Connor was diagnosed with autism, they automatically began to wonder about what their son would be unable to do. It wasn’t until they met Michael “Tarzan” Fernandez that they learned that there is nothing that autism would keep their son from.
The parent is an active Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, and it had always been their dream to share the life-changing martial art with their son. By chance, they heard about a Jiu Jitsu school with a program called “Just Us Two,” specifically designed for children with Special Needs. They took a leap of faith and showed up with their son. Since then, their son has not been the same. Not only has he made great friends with different special needs, but he has also learned Jiu Jitsu.
Michael Fernandez, the owner of The First Order of Jiu Jitsu, is not only a full-time school teacher with two children of his own, but he is also a hero who uses his love of teaching and extensive knowledge of Jiu Jitsu to reach children that some people in society give up on. He’s described as selfless and humble, often volunteering his own limited time to help teach police officers how to defend themselves with Jiu Jitsu.
Michael Fernandez’s dedication and selflessness make him an obvious choice for the parent to nominate for an honor. Despite all he does, he never asks for anything in return. The parent is proud to nominate him for this honor.

Larry Scates is a detective at the Coconut Creek Police Department and was the first officer Big Brother in our Bigs in Blue program. Larry was matched in 2019 with Elijah, a rambunctious 10-year-old at the time. He has since served as a role model, helping Elijah learn how to make better choices, develop social skills, and simply have fun.

Lisa has served her community as a volunteer leader through her role with Memorial Healthcare System while managing their employee volunteer program for over 20 years. As the past President of DOVS (Directors of Volunteer Services), she led other volunteer leaders by facilitating continued education, skill building and networking. Lisa has sat on several boards while promoting community volunteering and supporting local non-profits. She is passionate about volunteers and their role in a healthy community.
Lisa discovered volunteerism through Memorial Healthcare Systems employee volunteer program HERO (Healthcare Employees Reaching Out) when she began with them in 2002. This love of volunteering drove her to change careers and begin her journey to volunteer management. Over the past years bridges and relationships have been formed to create partnerships with other municipalities, organizations, and nonprofits. She has managed countless projects and large events, sometimes enlisting the help of hundreds of volunteers for one event. By developing meaningful projects for staff and their families, creating valuable family time as well as time for staff to connect with local organizations. It is a win win. Staff get to find areas of need where they can make a difference and local organizations get amazing volunteers. This often leads to their involvement on boards, committees, and other leadership roles. The ripple effect is tremendous. Encouraging families to volunteer together builds lasting memories and teaches children the value of volunteering. Each year there are several drives to help the less fortunate. The “Adopt” a Child drive partners volunteers with children in need for back to school and for the holidays. Each participating child gets a backpack filled with supplies, uniforms, shoes, and other goodies to ensure they have what they need to succeed throughout the school year. Over the holidays children complete a wish list of three items they would like to receive. The staff are matched with these children and purchase at least one item off the list, often buying them all! Over the past years this project has touched the lives of tens of thousands of children. She is never one to turn down a challenge. When a call comes in for help, her can do attitude is evident. Lisa’s drive and passion to help others has grown the volunteer program to one that many municipalities, organizations, and local nonprofits rely on for support. Lisa is a bridge builder within our community and a cheerleader to volunteers.

Hello, my name is Jeffrey Heuschkel, I’m a 29 year old Miami born native. I have been a nurse for nearly 5 years now at the University of Miami Hospital. While I normally work in the ICU, I am also one of the few research nurses that administer and study immunotherapy, as well as gene modification lines of treatment in hopes of finding the cure for a variety of different blood cancers.
My mother is now a retired nurse and my inspiration for pursuing a career in the medical field. On numerous occasions growing up I can remember my mom springing into action when a frantic neighbor came by or called for her help when their loved one was injured or in distress. In moments where I was frozen unsure of what to do, she would spring into motion and contain the situation, it felt like watching a superhero in action. Moreover, my father’s passing was an additional reason as to what groomed me to want to assist others. Seeing my mother take care of him and helping him in any way possible helped me become closer with patients as well, taking care of them as they were family.
Working during the pandemic was no small feat. I am very blessed to be an oncologic research nurse for South Florida’s only National Cancer Institute, The University of Miami Hospital. When I’m not working in the ICU, I am administering new clinical trial drugs and collecting data for FDA approval to replace current first line treatments for blood cancers. Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in the United States, but numbers are beginning to decline, and with the progress I have seen first hand I am hopeful we will dramatically reduce, if not cure cancer within my lifetime.
When I’m not at work I have been collaborating with some friends to develop the Miramar Chess Club for the South Florida community. Everyone of all skill levels and ages are welcome to join. Aside from spreading the joy of chess to the community, our goal is to grow large enough to host nationally recognized prize tournaments and bring more attention to the beauty behind game of chess.
Thank you PLA for your consideration and nomination, this event truly speaks volumes in recognizing front of the line workers that may not always receive a recognition and we appreciate your organization for doing so. I look forward to being at the event and rooting along with other fellow nominees.
