“There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.” - Fred Rogers

Meet our newest neighbor. 🤎Across Winter Park, you’ll find artwork celebrating Mr. Fred Rogers, an alumnus of Rollins College. In the spirit of that local tradition, we are honored to unveil this bronze miniature of “A Beautiful Day for a Neighbor,” a sculpture depicting Fred Rogers ’51 ’74H found on Rollins College campus.

We offer heartfelt thanks to the artist of the piece, world-renowned sculptor Paul Day, and Rollins trustee Allan Keen, whose dedicated stewardship made this and the original sculpture project possible.
