About Claws for a Cause
Claws for a Cause is Miami-Dade’s signature fundraising event for Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS). Bringing together community leaders, partners, and supporters, we raise critical funds for cradle-to-career programs supporting children and families as they break generational cycles of poverty and trauma. As a community, we open doors to opportunity, leading to lasting stability, educational success, and brighter futures.
Returning to the iconic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, this historic venue celebrates a new era of impact and elegance while honoring our shared history and deep community roots. Guests will enjoy a formal sit-down dinner, exclusive auction experiences, and meaningful opportunities to connect with our mission to strengthen families and empower children across Miami-Dade.

Each year, our collective impact raises critical funds that remove barriers and expand opportunity for children and families who are breaking generational cycles of childhood poverty, trauma, and maltreatment.
About Children's Home Society of Florida
For nearly 125 years, Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) has evolved to meet the changing needs of children and families. What began with a focus on foster care and adoption has grown into a bold, statewide movement to address root causes of poverty and expand opportunity. Today, through our cradle-to-career Community Impact Model, we’re reimagining what “home” means — and building brighter futures for children and families across Florida. No matter their ZIP code.
