Raising Cane's and Awareness (11/1/2025)
For this event, Push Forward Project had the opportunity to work with Raising Cane's to provide sponsored items to the homeless community of Downtown Miami.
We are extremely grateful to be able to have given out Raising Cane's branded hand sanitizer, branded rain ponchos, and water bottles to those in need at Government Center.

Pillar Painting Project (10/25/2025)
The Pillar Painting Project is part of Amigos for Kids’ mission to transform every pillar at José Martí Park in Downtown Miami, creating a brighter space for the community.
Alongside Amigos for Kids and a group of volunteers, we painted the pillars, blending colors to achieve the perfect hues and outlining each piece to bring the artwork to life.
We hope to continue contributing to this project and help paint all the pillars at José Martí Park, creating a vibrant, Miami-inspired environment that welcomes and supports all park visitors.
Save A Life Day (9/25/2025)
For Save A Life Day at University of Miami, we worked with other organizations including Shatterproof, URecovery, Substance Awareness, and F Fentanyl to give out free Narcan.
We gave out Naloxone, brand name Narcan, to UM students on campus. Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to rapidly reverse an opioid overdose and save lives.
Push Forward Project contributed by bringing items such as free shirts, Raising Cane's sponsored products, Chill-N ice cream, and Whyff herbal inhalers for the UM students.
Skate 4 Pizza (9/13/2025)
For this event, The Push Forward Project brought 10 pizzas to Lot 11 Skatepark, and gave out pizza to all the skaters who were hungry and in need of food.
Our goal for this event was to show the skaters in our community that they are supported and that we are here for them.
It was wonderful to be able to provide food for so many skaters because we know how hungry they can get. After a long day of skating, a nice warm meal is all you want.

Meals & Water for Miami (8/16/2025)
On Saturday, our nonprofit organized an event in Downtown Miami, where volunteers distributed 80 sandwiches and 64 bottles of water.

Hope For Hygiene (7/11/2025)
On Friday, we launched Hope for Hygiene, an outreach event to support Miami’s homeless community in Downtown Miami.
