Your favorite cause lover is here to let you know about who’s
been making waves in South Florida’s nonprofit scene recently!
The University of
Miami’s School of Communication earned some brownie points with me when they
announced their PhilAdthropy
marathon. Advertising and public relations students are preparing to pull a
25-hour all-night marathon to help charities with advertising campaigns. The
endeavor provides the students with invaluable experience, and helps nonprofits
grow by providing them with promotional materials that they possibly could not
afford otherwise. The event is this weekend, February 8-9th and I’m
excited to see the work that the students produce.
I’m also excited to
see the organization, Girls
Who Code, expand into Miami! The national nonprofit works to close the
gender gap in technology and engineering. The year-old organization pairs
younger girls with top female engineers and entrepreneurs from the technology
industry for 300 hours of mentorship and intensive instruction in robotics, web
design and mobile development.
So how about a huge round of applause for UM’s School of
Communication and Girls Who Code - thanks for your support and hard work for
causes in our local community!
