HOLIDAY TRIBUTES

 

During the holiday season, we all try to give gifts that are not only special, but memorable.

 

A sweater, DVD or gift certificate are quickly forgotten by the time New Year's Eve rolls around.

 

However, a donation to The Miami Project made in honor of a family member or friend is a gift they will never forget.

 

This holiday season honor your mother, grandfather, boss or a special friend with a donation to The Miami Project.
