Give Miami Day 2019 is THURSDAY!

Tomorrow, Thursday November 21st, is Give Miami Day – South Florida’s biggest annual day for charitable giving.

This year Friends of the Everglades led the public participation effort driving the Corps’ development of a new Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual that would prioritize public health and safety and improve the management of Lake Okeechobee. The fight is not over and we’re counting on your support to continue this work in 2020!

Please consider donating during Give Miami Day (midnight to midnight on Thursday November 21). You can donate by clicking here.

For more information on the work we’re doing, you can visit us on Facebook, or on www.everglades.org.
