OURÂ EVENTS
Community Fun Day is part of an effort by Project P.E.A.C.E. to empower the lives and transform the future of those who live in Goulds, Florida. Like the attendees, sponsors and vendors play a key role in this experience. This is a collective event offering participants the opportunity to share their services with a community that needs support and resources on that day and perhaps beyond. Community Fun Day is on Saturday, August 14, 2021, from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. State Senator Ana Maria Rodriguez, School Board Member Luisa Santos, and Miami-Dade County’s Mayor Daniella Levine Cava were among the notable guests who attended the first event in June.
