Support The Alliance for Florida's National Parks on Give Miami Day – Nov. 20, 2025

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Nov. 6, 2025 - PRLog -- On Give Miami Day this year, The Alliance for Florida's National Parks invites you to join a movement that protects Florida's most iconic natural sites: Big Cypress National Preserve and Biscayne, Dry Tortugas and Everglades National Parks.

"Every gift we receive directly fuels transformative experiences for students and teachers in our national parks," said Lulu Vilas, CEO of The Alliance for Florida's National Parks. "Donations make it possible for young people to step into these remarkable places and discover the wonder of science, conservation, and stewardship firsthand. These moments spark lifelong connections to nature, and without support from our donors, they simply wouldn't be possible."

Since 2002, The Alliance has harnessed the power of philanthropy to fuel education, conservation and exploration across these parks. With more than $12 million distributed, the impact is undeniable:

• More than 70,000 students and teachers engaged in immersive field trips and virtual programs annually
• More than 50,000 pounds of marine debris removed from Florida's coastlines
• More than 231,000 acres preserved through prescribed burns
• More than 500 sea turtles protected through nest monitoring and beach cleanups
• More than 600 invasive species removed, including pythons and tegus

"These efforts rely on private donations and Give Miami Day is a great chance to make a lasting difference," Vilas said.

Give Miami Day is one of the largest annual giving events in the southeast, powered by The Miami Foundation. Each November, the 24-hour online campaign brings together thousands of donors to support hundreds of local nonprofits, making a difference across Greater Miami.

From education and the environment to health and the arts, Give Miami Day empowers individuals to invest in the causes they care about most. With matching opportunities and community-wide momentum, it's a powerful day of generosity that fuels lasting impact.
