Protective supports Amigos For Kids during the 2026 Miami Open

Kids participating in Protective-sponsored Amigos for KidsAt Protective, we're committed to protecting the futures of the families and communities we serve. We were excited to live out this mission by collaborating with the Miami Open presented by Itaú to support Amigos For Kids as part of our sponsorship.

About Amigos For Kids

Amigos For Kids is a Miami-based nonprofit organization founded in 1991 with a mission to prevent child abuse and neglect by valuing children, strengthening families and educating communities. To move its mission forward, Amigos For Kids provides awareness and advocacy programs as well as after school care, tutoring, school supplies and parenting programs. Amigos For Kids raises awareness of their mission through public service campaigns and high-profile fundraising events, such as Amigos Night and The Blue Backpack Project.

Protective supports Amigos For Kids

Through our partnership with Amigos For Kids, the kids will be introduced to tennis at a clinic run by First Serve as part of the Miami Open Unites program. During the clinic, kids will practice with world-class players and hear their advice on how to pursue their dreams in life no matter their background. The 2026 experience was made even more memorable with former tennis pro John Isner, who spent time on the court encouraging participants, sharing insights from his career and reinforcing the value of hard work both on and off the court. His involvement underscored the shared commitment of Protective and the Miami Open to inspire the next generation.

Making an impact

During the tournament, Protective makes a donation for every player introduced on center court. Since 2024, over $30,000 has been donated to support Amigos For Kids, in partnership with the Miami Open. Protective employees maintain ongoing engagement with Amigos for Kids throughout the year, as South Florida teammates regularly volunteer their time across multiple initiatives.

Committed to making a difference

"We have a very hands-on approach to our sponsorships and always look to involve ourselves in the community to make a difference and protect the future of the communities we serve. Amigos For Kids is an amazing program, and we will look to invest both funds and our staff's time to ensure we make a difference in lives of the community through our sponsorship of the Miami Open," said Wade Harrison, EVP, Chief Retail Officer for Protective.
