MIAMI, FL —The Marcum Foundation recently honored four South Florida organizations with donations totaling $50,000.00 through the Planned Giving program at Marcum LLP.

The Children’s Home Society, Daily Bread Food Bank, Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation/Dan Marino Center and University of Miami/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center were recognized for their contributions to the South Florida community at the Riverside Hotel during the first annual Marcum LLP planned giving program luncheon.

Marcum LLP is the only Florida-based accounting firm with a planned giving program and a foundation. The planned giving program offers employees the opportunity to make payroll deductions towards the charity or charities of their choice.

“Marcum LLP takes pride in being a trend setter with community initiatives,” said Senior Partner Larry Blum. “Companies can always write checks, but when employees give of their time, and from there, open up their pockets, it shows the commitment we have to making South Florida a better place to live.”

During the year 2006, the Marcum Foundation raised more than $85,000.00.
