People Urged To Open Hearts, Wallets On 'Give Miami Day'

MIAMI(CBSMiami) - No matter how much money you have, every dollar matters.

Thursday, November 18th, is a day for everyone to help out and donate to their favorite nonprofits - it's "Give Miami Day."

Last year, people opened their hearts and wallets to make "Give Miami Day" a record-breaking success.

Thousands of people and businesses donated more than $18 million in the annual 24-hour fundraising event which benefits more than 800 local charities, including CBS4's Neighbors for Neighbors.

The Miami Foundation is the organization behind the event. This year they hope to break another record for Greater Miami nonprofits.
