Miami Dade College (MDC) will illuminate its National Historic Landmark Freedom Tower in blue in commemoration of Amigos For Kids’ annual month-long activities during National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April. The Tower will be illuminated at sundown on Saturday, March 31, and then again on Monday, April 30, to mark the beginning and end of activities.
Amigos For Kids, a non-profit dedicated to preventing child abuse, will kick-off festivities with its Second Annual Celebration for Friendship Luncheon at the Four Seasons Hotel at 11:30 a.m. on Mar. 31.

To fulfill its mission, Amigos relies on the support of dedicated volunteers and donors throughout the community. Throughout the year, the organization creates awareness of its cause through public service campaigns, fundraising events, and community efforts such as the Amigos For Kids, There’s NO excuse for child abuse! ® campaign.
