The Parks Foundation of Broward County mourns the loss of our friend, founding member, and Chair Emeritus, Roy Rogers.
Roy was there from the beginning, helping build the Foundation and shaping its mission to support Broward County’s parks, recreation, and the people who enjoy them. Even after stepping away from formal leadership, Roy never really stepped away. He remained an active force of nature—sharing ideas, opening doors, encouraging others to get involved, and recruiting Board leadership to make sure the organization he helped create would continue to grow and thrive.
The Parks Foundation is one of Roy’s lasting legacies, and we are grateful for the time, energy, and heart he gave to it over so many years.
We will miss him greatly, but his influence will remain a part of this Foundation for many years to come.
