In December of 2012, she started a charitable foundation called Kids Can, an organization that is based on the concept of kids of all ages, helping other kids and to unlock the potential in children, by empowering them to give back to the community and enrich the lives of those who are less fortunate. In 2017, Ms. Bratter was appointed to the Performing Arts Center Authority by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners. The board is charged with keeping the Broward Center vital and responsive. As the community evolves, the Performing Arts Center Authority helps to shape the Broward Center’s future.
