Why it matters
More money for Leewood.
More impact for our kids.
Last year, our community raised nearly $14,000 through Give Miami Day, even with little time to plan. This year, we're building on that success with a bigger goal and a smarter approach to fundraising. Unlike the Color Run, which required us to give up 50% of the proceeds to cover fundraising costs, Give Miami Day allows us to put more of what our community raises toward the people and programs that make Leewood special. Every gift helps make a difference in your child's everyday school experience.
01
People in the Building
Our teachers and the staff who keep this campus running. Give Miami Day helps us show them how much this community values them, with appreciation meals, treats, and the recognition that makes them feel seen all year.
02
Classrooms & Programs
Supplies, technology, and the enrichment that stretches every teacher's budget further than it should have to go.
03
The Whole Leopard Family
Student recognition and the family events that fill the calendar and make Leewood feel like home.
The goal
Track it together, all week long
Every class gift counts toward one school-wide total. Watch it climb starting on November 14.
The main event
Give to your
child's class
Every homeroom has its own Give Miami Day page. Pick your teacher below, and your gift is credited to that class. Friendly competition, one Leopard family. Not sure which class? Any gift to Leewood counts.
