In regards to the reimbursement by Mr. Donald Warshaw to Do The Right Thing in the amount
of $51,000 based on his plea agreement, Ms. Jodi Atkison, Executive Director for Do The Right

authorizing the i'unding of the "Do The Right Thing" Program, and allocating funds therefor, in

BACKGROLTND
The Miami Police Department instituted a program in July of 1990 to encourage the youth of our
community to "do the right thing." This program rewards youth for being leaders in the
community, not using drugs, portraying a positive image and excelling in education. The
program also allows children living in high -crime areas to interact with uniformed police officers
in non -confrontational settings establishing positive associations and enhancing mutual respect.
The program directly impacts approximately 9,000 children annually through its awards program
and hundreds more through community events, activities and projects.
Since its inception, the "Do The Right Thing" program has grown by attracting a number of
influential sponsors. Major sponsors include: The Miami Herald, British Airways, WTVJ-NBC
6, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Don Carlin, have been instrumental in the advertising and
promotion of the program.
