Mosaic Miami, formerly known as MCCJ, has been recognizing South Florida humanitarians since 1946, and this year has selected six South Florida community leaders who exemplify the meaning of the word.
The 2024 Humanitarians scheduled to receive the coveted Silver Medallion on May 5 include Raoul Cantero, partner at White & Case; Meg Daly, CEO at Friends of The Underline; Rev. Dr. Laurinda M. Hafner, senior pastor at Coral Gables Congregational Church; Ken Hoffman, CLO and partner at Azorra Aviation; Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, president and CEO at The Miami Foundation, and Manny Medina, founder and managing partner at Medina Ventures who will receive the Robert H. Traurig Lifetime Achievement Award.
These community leaders will be honored at the annual Humanitarian Silver Medallion Dinnertaking place at the University of Miami Shalala Student Center. The annual event will recognize the Silver Medallion winners for their outstanding efforts to build a more welcoming inclusive, just, and cooperative society, and it also will serve as the non-profit’s biggest fundraiser to support its programming.
The year-long calendar of events is deeply rooted in the mission of creating a more inclusive community in which all people are treated with dignity and respect, something which all six Silver Medallion recipients exemplify. Mosaic Miami has been doing this since 1935 through a variety of programs, including the “Can We Talk” dialogue, which tackles the issues of the day.
Another effort trains inclusive leaders via the ever-popular, life-changing residential camp for teens called Camp MetroTown, and through meaningful dinners that put Emerging Leadersat the same table as past Silver Medallion winners and other community leaders.
Mosaic Miami also hosts the Clergy Dialogue, the oldest continuous interfaith clergy dialog in the United States, which seeks to highlight the benefits of diversity through education, advocacy, dialog, and conflict resolution.
Clergy Dialogue programming includes an annual March for Unity, which takes place in November; the Interfaith Potluck Dinner, and their partnership with Interfaith Alliance, a national organization that strives to counter the divisiveness and complexities of our time.
The 2024 recipients of the Silver Medalion have always been focused on what they can do to help build a more inclusive Miami, whether by creating opportunities through business or charitable activities.
