On April 15, Youth L.E.A.D. held a benefit cocktail reception at Cafeina in Wynwood. This non-profit organization empowers underserved youths as activists to increase access to healthy food and clean environments in the school and community through after school programs and service learning projects. Guests who contributed to this cocktail fundraiser helped this cutting edge non profit to bring “food justice” to Miami. Guests also participated in a raffle for prizes worth $100 and up. Youth L.E.A.D. is a fiscal sponsorship fund of the Miami Founation, a 501C3 organization.
