Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade hosted the “We Care” Celebration, a national initiative between Herman Miller and Boys & Girls Club of America to provide kids a variety of craft materials and encourage them to make holiday gifts and cards for family and friends at its Hank Kline facility in Coconut Grove. Recently, baseball great Mike Lowell visited the Club, bringing Christmas cheer.

Hundreds of volunteers from local architectural and interior design firms joined together to share with the Kids their artistic vision. Some of the organizations that participated included: Perkins Will, Office Furniture Warehouse, Miami Dade County GSA, Miami-Dade Aviation, G3, Leo A. Daly, MGE, MC Harry & Associates, TSAO Design, Gipsy’s Art, Brad Horton with Workplace Resource and Corporate Design Choice.

“We are honored that our Club was chosen to participate in the We Care initiative,” Said Alex Rodriguez-Roig, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade. “It’s great to know that 130 kids from our Club can bring home a gift for a family member this holiday season.”

The “We Care” Celebration included entertainment, arts and crafts, snacks and a special visit from Santa Claus.
