Congratulations on such a wonderful event and a great turnout!!! I loved the concept of providing that venue for so many non-profits and charities to increase their exposure. That, coupled with great art and entertainment in a great location was a big WIN! Can’t wait for next year’s event

What a GREAT event! Way to go Philanthrofest! Touching Miami with Love was so grateful to be a part! Attendees at the event were so receptive to learning about our work in Overtown with children and youth and excited to attend our event May 20th, A Touch of Art. What a fun day to celebrate the great things happening in Miami. Wonderfully organized and a amazing turnout!

From the Amnesty International local chapter 248, thank you for such a great event! This was a wonderful chance to meet the local non-profits and get the word out about AI. We had a lot of interest in our local group and the national AI program plus lots of signatures on our petitions. We would love to participate in an event like this again!
