Growing Angels is a project that I not only pour my heart, energy, and expertise into, it’s a project that also needs money.
And with all the hopes and plans we have for the school I thought it best to come to the community we serve to ask for a helping hand. We will be participating in Give Miami Day this year as we did last year. And this year we’ve got a super special reason why we need your help!
We are moving to a new school! That’s right! Growing Angels is expanding and with expansion comes some major upgrades!
Firstly, we need your help to complete the school building. Due to the pandemic, we have experienced major setbacks and delays and we are happy to be finally back on track.
Secondly, we are starting a new program that introduces our students to technology at a much younger age.
And third, because we are moving to a much larger building, we will be enrolling even more students, which means that we will need to get more staff with the level of qualification that meets our standards.
So now that you know some of the projects that we are currently working on, I’m sure you’re wondering how you can help! Well, as I mentioned we will be participating in Give Miami Day this year again!
What is Give Miami Day?
Give Miami Day is one of the nation's biggest 24-hour annual giving events. This is an online campaign where all our regular locals, like you, can be philanthropists that fund and help build our community.
The event is set for Thursday, November 18, 2021, (SAVE THE DATE) and we invite you to donate your money where it counts – an investment in the future because our students are the future society of our community.
Power Hours
Power Hours are a tool used to spotlight specific issue areas throughout the day to boost attention and fundraising. On Give Miami Day, every hour from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. will be designated as a Power Hour for a different issue area. During that hour, we will receive Bonus dollars for every dollar that you donate! The 2 Power Hours that we will be participating in are 11 a.m. - Education & Youth and 3 p.m. - Black Equity.
How can you help? Plan your giving!
I need you all to mark your calendars and add reminders so that you don’t miss the day or forget. Give Miami Day is a one day only event so please make sure to show up for us and for the young students we serve. And don’t forget to focus your giving on Power Hours so that we get Bonus Funds to make all of our goals and dreams a reality!
