Greg Clark's Impact Edition Fundraiser 2024

I have had the honor of working with Yulia, Samantha, and the rest of the Impact Edition team for the past 4 years. I have watched how hard they work to tell the stories of changemakers of all types in Miami with such a beautiful product. Magazines like Impact Edition are really a labor of love and need support from the community to continue. I am incredibly proud to serve on their board as we plan out the organization's future. Here are a few highlights from Impact Edition's 2024 so far.
