The Coral Gables Bar Association is committed to serving its community. The focus of our service activities is on assisting local organizations that support the education, health and welfare of the youth of Coral Gables and greater Miami.

For the past several years, we have conducted an annual fundraiser and toy drive to benefit Charlee Homes for children, an organization that provides services for abused, abandoned or neglected children. We have also lent our support to the UM-NSU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities, a comprehensive outreach and support program serving people with autism and related disabilities, their families, and the professionals who work with them, and Our Kids of Miami-Dade and Monroe County, that cares for abused and neglected children.

Our annual President's Ball for 2012 will benefit Centro Mater, a charity whose mission is to support the programs of Centro Mater Childcare Services, a nonprofit organization providing care, education, nourishment, health services, and after school programs to children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age.
