A big thank you to everyone who made our Annual Holiday Reception and Toy Drive a success! Hosted by the #GMCVB, Greater Miami and the Beaches Hotel Association, and Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association (FRLA), this festive event in Paradise Plaza, Miami Design District , brought our industry and community together to spread holiday cheer and support the Chapman Partnership. Thanks to your contributions, we collected a significant number of toys and funds to benefit families in need. We appreciate everyone who attended, donated and helped us make a difference this holiday season. Here’s to continuing the spirit of giving and community in 2025.

Thank you to our board, partners and community for championing this important work. Here’s to building an even brighter 2025 together!
