Why we’re fundraising
We Met in Miami is run by the nonprofit We Met Community Connection, which works to overcome loneliness in South Florida. Give Miami Day is our biggest fundraiser of the year. This annual giving campaign opens Saturday, Nov. 14, and runs through Thursday, Nov. 19. What we raise helps Miamians find friendship, love and a place to belong.
Looking for a new friend or romantic spark?
At our events, we wear wristbands that show others who we are and what we’re looking for (choose one, two or all three):
💚 green for love
💙 blue for friendship
🌈 rainbow for members of the LGBTQIA+ community
💌 if you meet someone special, we’ll help you reconnect after the event
