The magic from our second annual “Breakfast with Santa” on December 14th is still with us! We’re beyond grateful for everyone who donated, volunteered, or shared their time and talents. Thanks to YOU, we didn’t just meet our wish list—we EXCEEDED it! ✨

Our Winter Wonderland event at Homewood Suites by Miami Airport/Blue Lagoon was full of joy and holiday cheer:

🎉 A delicious breakfast, cupcakes, cookies & drinks, thanks to generous donors.
🎨 Over 2 toys per child, face painting, hair designs, and a fun limbo contest.
🎁 Prizes, dancing, grocery gift cards for parents, and stunning table centerpiece raffles.
🎶 Entertainment by Adriana, I Found My DJ, & professional photos by Jandro Visuals.
🎈 Balloons by Kenia & countless volunteers who made it all unforgettable!

A huge thank you to over 25 volunteers, 21 corporate sponsors, and 30 individual donors who made it all possible! We also gifted families 70 musical cookie tins & Bauducco Panettone to spread even more warmth. 🎁

On December 16th, we delivered 80 board games to McArthur Educational Center in Homestead—many of these were the only gifts some students received this Christmas. 💖

Together, we brought joy to 160 children, 40 families, and 70 students through our “Adopt a Family” initiative.

This was our inaugural Summer Back-to-School Backpack 🎒 fundraiser, and it couldn’t have happened without the incredible support of our donors, volunteers, and board of directors. To learn about our “Adopt a family” initiative follow us and visit our webpage under Corporate Sponsors and join our charity efforts 🙏

Seeing the joy on the children’s faces was truly priceless! 💙⭐️💞💫 These moments will be cherished for a lifetime 🙏

Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community!

Created and implemented a comprehensive digital marketing plan to expand the nonprofit's online presence and reach a wider audience.

Organized and managed successful fundraising events to support the nonprofit's initiatives and drive donations from supporters.

Since 2010, it has been our annual tradition to make a positive difference in the lives of low-income children and parents in our community. With your generous support, we are continuing this effort by helping those who need it the most, as many are living in poverty.

 

We successfully delivered brand-new toys to all districts, including North, South, and Central locations. Ana Zecca, our President and Director, has previously collaborated with former director Brenda Palacios on various charitable efforts. Currently, Mrs. Palacios supports our foundation as a dedicated volunteer.

As part of our 2024 Christmas "Adopt a Family" Corporate Program, we donated 80 brand-new board games to selected students at McArthur Educational Center in Homestead, making the holiday season brighter for these children.
