Hangin’ With 5-0: In 2008, at a time when youth programs are threatened by budget cuts, Sunbeam Properties and the Miramar Park of Commerce stepped up to donate $30,000 to help save Hangin’ with 5-0, a summer program for teens in Miramar, and has never looked back. Miramar Park of Commerce continues to partner with the Miramar Police Athletic League and the City of Miramar today to sponsor this program which offers kids a free, one-of-a-kind summer camp experience for nine to 14-year-olds who are selected by school resource officers and guidance counselors for the program. The students participate in a weekly summer camp free-of-charge, which includes trips to the movies, excursions to the beach, live animal shows, airboat rides and more alongside Miramar’s dedicated police officers. Each day, breakfast and lunch are served, and the program concludes with a celebratory lunch.
Sunbeam Polar Express: Since 2016, the staff at the Miramar Park of Commerce has collected thousands of toy and gift donations from tenants in the Park, brightening the holidays for hundreds of underserved children in Miramar and bringing cheer to pediatric patients spending the holiday season in Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. The staff, decked in themed costumes, delivers toys, games, bikes, books and more in a procession of vehicles decorated in themed holiday décor to the Miramar Police Department, who then distributes them prior to the holidays. In appreciation of all those tenants who drop off donations, Miramar Park of Commerce treats participants to a festive holiday barbecue complete with food, beverage and holiday tunes.

The Miramar Park of Commerce supports the builds with monetary donations and volunteers who, among other tasks, hang wall furring and ceiling strip and prepare the roofs for inspection.
