Robins & Morton’s Edwige Clark Leads Broward Hard Hats with Heart Campaign to Raise $162,000

Edwige Clark, project director at Robins & Morton, served as the chair for the American Heart Association’s 2026 Broward Hard Hats with Heart campaign, a year‑long initiative focused on creating a healthier construction workforce across the region. In an effort to advance awareness, advocacy and heart health education in Broward, Robins & Morton, a privately held construction firm, served as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 Broward Hard Hats with Heart celebration that took place at Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park on Oct. 15. 

Under Clark’s leadership, the volunteer executive leadership team, which included Robins & Morton colleagues Johnathan Peavy, Kyle Davis and Robert Creswick, surpassed the campaign’s inaugural fundraising goal, raising $162,000 to advance the American Heart Association’s lifesaving work.  For Clark, a Miami native, the campaign offered a meaningful opportunity to give back to the community that helped shape him. By taking on a leadership role, he could support the place he has long called home while inspiring others in the construction industry to join him in making a lasting local impact.

The American Heart Association reports that one in four construction workers has high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Heart disease remains the nation's leading cause of death, and physically demanding work, high stress and limited access to care put people in the industry at added risk. The American Heart Association encourages employers to build healthier habits into the workday, from nutritious food options and movement during breaks to stress management and Hands-Only CPR education. 

Broward Hard Hats with Heart is an industry-specific initiative from the American Heart Association to improve the cardiovascular health of those working within the Broward construction and subcontractors’ industry. The campaign’s focus is to integrate health, well-being and prevention solutions into the culture of the industry.

"Construction professionals are the backbone of our community, yet the health risks they face are too often overlooked,” Clark said. “By bringing construction industry leaders together in support of the American Heart Association, we can use our collective reach to raise awareness, encourage healthier habits and drive meaningful change.”

“Chairing this campaign has been a privilege and a deeply personal opportunity to give back to the community that helped shape me,” Clark continued. “I am proud to support the American Heart Association and its work to protect the health of the people who build South Florida. Together, we can create safe working environments where we adopt healthy lifestyles to prevent heart disease, where AEDs are on every job site and where our entire workforce is trained in CPR and has the courage to act.” 

Clark's experience spans several roles on the construction side, including general contractor, owner's representative and third-party project manager, with projects for Memorial Healthcare System, the University of Miami, Nicklaus Children's Hospital and Baptist Health South Florida. In addition to leading business development for the firm, he is a regular speaker at Florida International University and Florida A&M University, where he supports workforce development efforts.
