Give Miami Day is Nov. 16

Give Miami Day is coming up next week.  It’s the annual event that invites people in South Florida to donate online to their favorite non-profits that are among the 1,100 organizations that participate.

Last year 41,000 donors gave more than $32 million to such groups, according to The Miami Foundation, which hosts the 24-hour event on Nov. 16.

There are many groups in and near Miami Lakes that donors may support and are close to home.

A search for ‘Miami Lakes’ on the foundation’s website brought up these organizations: Main Street Players; HML PTSA; Hope Mission Inc.; Jose Marti MAST 6-12 Academy PTSA; First Tee Miami; Ballet Etudes of South Florida, Inc.; Just an Accident Stop Hit and Runs, Inc.; Teen Upward Bound; The Marian Center School and Services, Inc.; Guardians of Human Rights Foundation; Pelican Playhouse Inc. and The Education Fund.

You may also find a particular organization by searching just for that name. Categories for giving include animals; arts and culture; community care; economic and community development; education and youth; environment; faith-based; health and wellness; human rights advocacy and civic engagement and inclusion.
