About Us
This upcoming Spring, Tracy Wilson Mourning will host Honey Shine’s annual “Hats Off” event. The “Hats Off” event is regarded as one of Miami’s premiere events of the social season!

The “Hats Off” event is a fundraiser for Camp Honey Shine. Attendees and supporters enable 200 school-aged girls to attend the all-inclusive, sixweek summer immersion camp. Funds are used to provide educational support, character development workshops, college-prep classes, digital and financial literacy, physical fitness, nutrition and wellness services. The girls or affectionally known as the “Honey Bugs” who attend Camp Honey Shine, also receive and array of enrichment lessons in robotics, swimming, music, and dance, to name a few. Since its founding over two decades ago, Honey Shine, has grown beyond a mentoring program and has a grown to currently offering daily services
through three main empowerment components: Camp Honey Shine, Aspire to Shine Workshops, and daily In & After-School Program. Honey Shine’s mission is to encourage the balance of mind, body and soul in girls and young women. And while program offerings have evolved, one thing remains constant, the goal to encourage the balance of mind, body and soul in girls and young women by providing nurturing experiences that enlighten their paths and empower their future.
