Coastal Construction Company and the Murphy Family are proud to support

Miami Bayside Foundation’s vision of supporting tomorrow’s leaders and

building the future of our City.

Building the FutureThank you for joining us here tonight to help impact job creation, encourage economic de-velopment, support tomorrow’s leaders, and improve the future of our City.

The Miami Bayside Foundation seeks to ad-vance Miami’s growth by supporting minor-ity businesses and education. In the last six years, the Foundation has awarded 52 loans totaling more than $2,165,000 to City of Miami minority-owned businesses creating more than 300 jobs. The Foundation knows that by fulfi lling its mission of supporting minority entrepreneurship, the City of Miami will grow.

Along with our loan program, our educational initiatives are essential to our mission. In the last six years, we have provided 649 scholar-ships to City of Miami students. We have en-dowments at Miami-Dade College, Florida International University, and Florida Memo-rial University. We have made two multi-year gifts to organizations working with City of Miami Public High School students, Break-through Miami and the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship. In 2014, MBF launched a scholarship program at every public senior high school in the City of Miami. For the last three years, we have made gifts to the Golden Scholars Bridge Program at FIU and the Little Haiti Optimist Club. Last year, we launched our scholarship program for City of Miami students at Miami-Dade Technical Colleges and created our fi rst co-named scholarship in partnership with Baptist Health South Florida. We received a grant from Commissioner Willy Gort to fund a scholarship program for resi-

dents in his district. This year, working with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the City of Miami (Commissioner Carollo) and the marine industry, we helped create the Marine Service Technology Academy at Lind-sey Hopkins Technical College. The pilot class of 20 students matriculated in Au-gust. We also made a grant to the St. Al-ban’s Child Enrichment Center in Coconut Grove and to the Education Fund this year.

To help advance businesses in the City of Miami, we have partnered with SCORE Miami, the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund and the Small Business Development Cen-ter at FIU with whom we have provided more than 125 business owners with technical as-sistance, mentorship and training. We are running a small business training program that has just fi nished its fourth series of ten sessions and graduated 20 business owners.

None of this would have been possible with-out the support of our Board members who work tirelessly to fulfi ll MBF’s mission, and our generous donors. I am especially grate-ful to Bayside Marketplace and Ashkenazy Acquisition whose support is instrumental in MBF´s growth.

Please take the time to meet some of our scholarship recipients and business owners who are here tonight. They are the City of Miami’s future.

Enjoy the evening,
