MIAMI, FL – Monday, April 8th, 2013 – Chapman Partnership participated In the 2nd Annual Philantrofest event held Saturday, April 6, at Miami-Dade College – Wolfson Campus.
Philantrofest connects people to learn about non-profits and community resources in a family-friendly atmosphere while enjoying music, art, performance, food trucks and other fun activities. Philantrofest provided free exhibition space to Chapman Partnership and other non-profits to promote their mission and connect with the members of the community.
At the Chapman Partnership booth we connected with many people interested in volunteering at our two centers, young professionals interested in nextgen, students looking for engaging social action activities, women looking to make a difference by joining Womenade and general inquiries about Chapman. In addition, all visitors to our booth were given information packets about Chapman Partnership, our mission, volunteer opportunities as well as our Wish List. All in all, we made connections with approximately 50 new volunteers and about 10 prospective nextgen members.
Finally, and most importantly, a former resident stopped by to personally thank everyone at Chapman Partnership for helping her and her family in their time of need.
