PRSA Luncheon 2026

JOIN US FOR THE 39TH ANNUAL EV CLAY/PRSA MIAMI CHAPTER

ENDOWMENT FUND LUNCHEON



We are very excited to gather once again with our fellow PRSA Miami members and PR professionals at the annual Ev Clay/PRSA Miami Chapter Endowment Fund Luncheon, taking place on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at the Rusty Pelican. We are looking forward to celebrating 39 years of helping to advance our profession! On this special day, we will once again honor some of our city’s finest PR professionals and future industry leaders.


Our Chapter is especially proud to continue our honored tradition of providing deserving students with $30,000 in scholarships for those attending Florida International University, Florida Memorial University, Miami Dade College and the University of Miami. Since its inception, the Ev Clay/PRSA endowment fund, now the largest of any PRSA chapter in the U.S., has awarded more than $400,000 in scholarships to more than 200 deserving students.

In celebration of such a momentous anniversary, we hope you will consider becoming an event sponsor this year. Your support is vital for us to continue providing scholarships to future communicators. Please see the attached document for more information on the many event sponsorship possibilities.

On behalf of the PRSA Miami Chapter, thank you for your support and for your consideration in becoming an event sponsor. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you want to donate a raffle item or get more information about tickets and sponsorships, please get in touch with Elizabeth Nickerson Hill, chapter president, at president@prsamiami.org.
