Since 2018, LLF has held its Christmas in July event, in partnership with Hasbro, to bring holiday joy to the children of Liberty City in the summer! What began as a fun day of toys and games evolved into LLF’s 2019 Christmas in July, where LLF partnered with Rosenhaus Sports’s Youth Fitness Clinic to bring 500 children from Miami Children’s Initiative and Gwen Cherry Park an afternoon of fun fitness activities alongside LLF volunteers followed by toys and games from Hasbro!

Since 2018, The Little Lighthouse Foundation (“LLF”) has held its Back to School program, in partnership with Hasbro, to provide essential school supplies to the children from LLF’s Partner Facilities. LLF fundraises to purchase as many school supplies as possible for the children from LLF’s Partner Facilities, including schools, youth organizations, and shelters. Our Back to School program has benefited thousands of children from our partner facilities.

Since 2015, LLF has held its Children’s Halloween Party (“CHP”), in partnership with Hasbro, where children from several of LLF’s Partner Facilities are bussed out for a day of Halloween fun! With the help of volunteers and incredible partners, LLF creates a safe space filled with candy, games, activities, food, and more! LLF also collects and delivers costumes to the children before the event to ensure that every child has a full and safe Halloween experience.

First taking place in 2009 at Chapman Partnership, LLF’s Holiday Toy Distribution, in partnership with Hasbro, is the longest-running specialty program. Since then, LLF’s Holiday Toy Distribution has grown to impact thousands of children each year, bringing thousands of toys, games, and LLF fundraises to purchase as many meal boxes as possible for the children from LLF’s Partner Facilities with the help of over one hundred volunteers and LLF’s partners.
