Commemorative Anniversary Special to Air on Sunday, August 27, at 12:30 p.m. on CBS 4, from History Miami Museum, Will Revisit People and Stories That Touched Our Hearts and Lives
MIAMI (August XX, 2017) - For the past 25 years, Neighbors 4 Neighbors has used the power of television to connect those in need with those who can help. In celebration of this milestone of community philanthropy, Neighbors 4 Neighbors will present an hour-long anniversary special on Sunday, August 27, at 12:30 p.m. on CBS 4, highlighting the history of the nonprofit organization, the people behind it and those stories that touched our hearts and lives. The 25th anniversary special will be broadcast on location from the History Miami Museum that is hosting a one-of-a-kind exhibit, “Hurricane Andrew - 25 Years Later.” The exhibition explores the storm through eyewitness, first-person storytelling, historical footage, documentary photography, artifacts and Hurricane Andrew-inspired artwork.
From its humble beginnings in the ruinous wake of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Neighbors 4 Neighbors has evolved into South Florida’s most extensive people-to-people assistance network. From a small auxiliary bank of 18 Broward-based phone lines set-up when then WCIX-TV, Channel 6’s tower was overturned during the devastating storm, Neighbors 4 Neighbors now supports over 300 nonprofit organizations, has created its own signature programs and has facilitated and delivered more than $20 million in aid to South Florida residents in need. And, that number keeps growing, every day. Last year, alone, Neighbors 4 Neighbors delivered more than $818,660 in goods, services and volunteer time.
Viewers who tune-in to Neighbors 4 Neighbors’ 25th Anniversary Special on CBS 4 can share in the human connection and charitable spirit that our community was built on. The program will revisit and catch-up with some of the following heartwarming stories:
