After five years of tireless advocacy and perseverance, the dream of our Founder, Meg Daly, and so many in our community, is finally becoming a reality.\u00a0 On November 1st, Miami-Dade County and Friends of The Underline broke ground on the first phase of The Underline – Brickell Backyard. Hundreds of elected officials, donors, partners and community members attended the groundbreaking and the elegant reception that followed hosted by Swire Properties at Brickell City Centre\u2019s La Centrale.\u00a0 Pinnacle Communities, led by Louis Wolfson III, underwrote art on the Metrorail columns to celebrate The Underline, the fastest-tracked project of its kind in the United States.<\/p>\n

Now, the real work begins. We are aware of the enormity of this undertaking and its impact on the future of Miami-Dade County. In addition to paying attention to construction, we are\u00a0focused on raising the critical funds necessary to maintain and manage\u00a0The Underline.<\/p>\n

We have launched a campaign called Ten Miles Together to raise the catalytic funding necessary\u00a0for the long term future of The Underline. At its core,\u00a0Ten Miles Together is a commitment to the\u00a0stewardship of 120 acres of park and trail, and urban reforestation, the maintenance of monumental art and amenities\u00a0like basketball courts and mini soccer pitches,\u00a0and free cultural, wellness and educational programming accessible to all.<\/p>\n

It is now time for the\u00a0philanthropic community\u00a0to come forward and:<\/b>
\n\u2022 Name a park amenity
\n\u2022 Support art in the park
\n\u2022 Adopt a butterfly garden
\n\u2022 Become an Underline founder
\n\u2022 Sponsor or underwrite events
\n\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>and programs<\/b><\/p>\n

There are many ways to get involved. From being a volunteer to being a donor to connecting to The Underline in creative ways like\u00a0South Miami Hospital which will dedicate\u00a0its open-to-the-public Baptist Health\u00a0Meditation Garden adjacent to\u00a0The Underline on\u00a0December 13th at 11 AM.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a privilege to be a part of this project\u00a0and inspiring to contemplate what lies\u00a0ahead for The Underline. We hope you, the\u00a0community, are as excited as we are about\u00a0what is on the horizon for this park\u00a0and trail and Miami-Dade County.\u00a0We invite you to invest in this journey. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
