Miami, FL – January 18, 2020 – Voices For Children Foundation and presenting sponsor Prada celebrated the highly anticipated 24th edition of their Be A Voice Gala hosted at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami. The lavish gala brought together 400 of Miami’s most philanthropic and influential community leaders and business professionals including Miami Dade Mayor Carlos A. Giménez, Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools Alberto Carvalho, and Miami Dolphins’ Albert Wilson, who experienced foster care and overcame great obstacles. Guests joined chairs Brad and Suzanne Meltzer and Angel and Lynette Ferrer to support the foster care youth of Miami-Dade County. The premier fundraising event raised over $650,000 to benefit Miami-Dade’s abused, abandoned and neglected children to help ensure they have a court-appointed Guardian ad Litem, and that financial assistance and other resources are available for their health, educational, and social needs.
