Give Miami Day, one of the largest gratitude-driven campaigns in the nation, has wrapped up its 12th year in true Miami style–upholding its reputation as nothing short of a phenomenal and impactful event for the people of South Florida. This annual event is all about “giving back to those that give back,” by granting donations and spotlighting non-profit organizations that are actively tackling some of Miami’s most pressing issues head-on. Miami’s 10,000+ non-profit organizations have made substantial and lasting changes in the lives of individuals across all walks of life–whether that is ethnic, social, economic, or beyond. The organizations’ profound contributions have been pivotal in keeping Miami’s heart beating: helping the city sustain its title as the place to be. What makes Give Miami Day so prosperous year after year isn’t solely up to these organizations, but also the remarkable–incredibly sympathetic people of this city. The thousands of individuals who donate and take a stand do not go unnoticed, as they highlight how deeply ingrained the spirit of giving is in South Florida. We may take up just a small corner of the nation, and the state for that matter, but it would be quite difficult to find another place that does giving bigger than we do!
Lighting the Miami Tower: The True Meaning Behind It
On the 12-year anniversary of Give Miami Day, the Miami Tower took form as a “beacon of hope” for individuals across the city. In the absolute heart of Miami, Brickell, the tower shined through the night in representative colors of non-profit organizations that have completely, and undoubtedly given. With the diligence and incredible work of these organizations in mind, it was a no-brainer that they should be honored; and come on, what better day is there to do this than the one and only Give Miami Day? There is a much deeper meaning behind the shining tower than what meets the eye, and it is one that roots back to the city of Miami’s sense of togetherness. It raises a whole new perspective of life for many– in which I myself experienced first-hand. Somewhere within the city, there was a person watching the tower beam in color from the warmth of their own home. They may have been lounging on the balcony of their luxury apartment building, overlooking the tower thinking, “Wow, what a wonderful view I have of this vibrant tower.” However, at the same exact moment in time, somewhere in this city lay another person that was too watching the tower–yet in the absence of the safety and comfort of a home. Seeing the tower shine in color through the night was a sign of hope, and a reminder that they ARE cared for, and they ARE being fought for. It may have even brought a moment of joy and peace to those that needed it. This is the essence of what makes Miami and Give Miami Day so special. The radiating tower took form as a symbol of these organizations: the lights at the end of the tunnel for so many. You could be sitting on the balcony of your luxury apartment, or wondering when your next meal is, but Miami is a support system of a city—it’s home. On the 12th Anniversary of Give Miami Day, this was shined upon “literally” by the Miami Tower.
