For 25 years, A Safe Haven for Newborns has stood as a beacon of hope for mothers in crisis and a lifeline for vulnerable newborns. What began as Nick’s deeply personal journey to heal a broken heart and honor the memory of his beloved wife, Gloria, following her tragic passing, has grown into an internationally recognized organization dedicated to preventing infant abandonment and providing support, counseling, and critical resources to women facing the overwhelming reality of an unplanned pregnancy. From its beginnings, the mission has been rooted in compassion, dignity, and love — offering hope, protection, and a path forward during life’s most difficult moments.

 Over the past quarter century, countless lives have been touched through the organization’s unwavering commitment to offering safe, legal, and anonymous options for mothers seeking help. Through advocacy, education, community partnerships, and around-the-clock support, A Safe Haven for Newborns has continued to remind women that they are never alone. To date, 441 newborns have been given a chance at life — 431 in Florida; nine in other states, and one in Honduras.

 As the Foundation proudly celebrates its 25th Anniversary, supporters, community leaders, and advocates will gather on October 24 at the InterContinental Miami Hotel for the annual gala — an evening dedicated to celebrating lives saved, families embraced, and the courage of brave birth mothers, while honoring a mission that has grown stronger with each passing year. The Gala will also commemorate the extraordinary legacy built over the past 25 years and raise critical funds to ensure hope, compassion, and life-changing support remain available for future generations.

 To make this milestone celebration truly unforgettable, A Safe Haven for Newborns is seeking sponsors, community partners, and dedicated volunteers to help bring this special event to fruition. From sponsorship opportunities to volunteer support, every contribution plays a meaningful role in helping continue the organization’s lifesaving mission. The community’s involvement and generosity are vital in ensuring that hope, compassion, and support remain available to mothers and newborns when they are needed most.

 This milestone anniversary is more than a celebration of years — it is a celebration of lives, second chances, and the power of compassion to change the future. We invite you to join us in celebrating our Silver Jubilee by visiting our website and selecting a sponsorship opportunity.
