History
Miami Civitan was given its charter (No. 23) in 1921. In the aftermath of the real estate collapse and the 1926 hurricane the Club organized "Sunbeams and Shadows," a relief program coordinated with radio station WQAM, who donated free air time. Civitan members manned telephones at the station and received both donations and requests for aid. Miami Civitan has supported the work of many local institutions: Sunland Training Center, Salvation Army, youth service agencies, and worked with high school Civitan groups, sponsoring a college scholarship program.
