OUR EVENTS AND CAMPAIGNS
NOCHE SUPER BUENA
Centro Mater has been hosting our annual Christmas event - Noche Super Buena- since 2012. With the generous donations from our supporters, the goal of creating a memorable holiday for the neediest families in our community has always been accomplished.
Join us this year in creating a once in a lifetime memory for 100 families by surprising them with a trip to LEGOLAND.
HELP US BUILD THESE DREAMS ONE FAMILY AT A TIME.
BACKPACK DRIVE
For the past 18 years, Centro Mater has organized a backpack drive, and this year, we are setting our goal higher—to provide 550 students with everything they need to start the new school year. We invite you to join us in this important mission. Centro Mater, a Catholic Charities organization, serves the neediest children in Little Havana, and your support can make a significant difference in their lives.
​
MEMORIAS DE VERANO
With the generous support of so many, Centro Mater Foundation is able to provide 10 weeks of interactive activities, incredible fieldtrips, and learning opportunities to 850 kids that attend each year.
The children and parents of Centro Mater really appreciate the support and generosity!
SPRING MATERS
Centro Mater Foundation hosts our annual Spring Maters event to raise awareness and honor people or institutions in the community that have contributed in different ways to fulfill the mission of the foundation. As part of the event, our guests have the opportunity to hear from one of our students and learn about our summer campaign, Memorias de Verano. The goal of this campaign is to raise funds in order to provide summer memories to the Children of Centro Mater.
THE SPIRIT OF MATER
The foundation hosts The Spirit of Mater event. It is a beautiful and heartwarming event to honor very special people whose service exemplifies what the Spirit of Mater is all about. Many have left a legacy of support and inspired generosity for multiple generations. It is a vivid reminder that Centro Mater was founded on the belief that love for children brings hope for the future. The Spirit of Mater is alive.
