"It's one of the biggest annual giving events in the United States, allowing every Miamian to unify and support the important work nonprofits do every day to improve our South Florida communities," explained The Miami Foundation's Matthew Beatty. "Everyone can be a philanthropist during those 24 hours. Just click, find an organization working on a cause you care about, and make a donation to help build a better Greater Miami.
