MIAMI POWER TEAM FOUNDATION INC.
MIAMI, FLORIDA

The Miami Power Team Foundation, Inc. is a recognized Florida-based non-profit organization (501(c)(3)), dedicated to providing hope and support to children who are terminally ill, have cancer, or suffer from various disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome, physical impairments, and visual impairments. Founded in 1996 by Yoandra, Michael, Giovanni, and the Sanchez family, the organization has consistently demonstrated its commitment over decades through volunteer work. With no paid salaries for founders and directors since its inception, the Miami Power Team Foundation relies solely on the support of volunteers whose efforts have helped over 2,500 children create lasting memories through various activities. The team began in their home but eventually opened offices in 2016, alongside forming an advisory board to better fulfill its mission. Their partnerships with prestigious institutions such as Miami Dade College, Florida International University (FIU), and the University of Miami (UM) illustrate the broad recognition and endorsement they have received from both educational bodies and numerous community sectors. Every month, the Foundation visits specific children prioritizing those with terminal illnesses, engaging in activities that were once unattainable due to their conditions. Their ultimate goal is to establish a dedicated facility — described as a 'paradise' for special needs children and their families where they can find joy, mental relaxation, physical activity, and a sense of belonging. Operating under the direction of its founders Miguel Sanchez (President) and Alberto Fernandez (Director), along with Maria J. Sanchez as Vice President, The Miami Power Team Foundation strives to foster inclusivity within society for children with disabilities. The organization's enduring efforts not only aim at enhancing life quality for these children but also seeks to enrich the lives of their volunteer contributors by teaching them the value of compassion and community service. As part of its ongoing fundraising initiatives and outreach programs, Miami Power Team Foundation continues to solicit support from the public to achieve this vision.
