Every four years, we\u2019re gifted an extra day on our calendars \u2013 A Leap Day! Being given the rare gift of extra time, our team decided to \u201cleap\u201d at the opportunity to give back to our community on this special day. The Miami Foundation team decided to spend Leap Day doing garden restoration in partnership with local leaders at the Belafonte Tacolcy Center. Located on a 3.5-acre City of Miami Park in the heart of Liberty City, The Belafonte Tacolcy Center is a safe haven for children, youth, young adults, families, and mentors to come together in a variety of activities to strengthen the bonds and skills that produce healthy, educated, confident and compassionate leaders of tomorrow.<\/p>\n
