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.

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.
