The Milton Family Hosts “All You Need is Love” – A Beatles NYE Celebration

Welcoming 2026, we embraced love, connection, and purpose in true 1960s style at the Milton Family’s Beatles-inspired “All You Need Is Love” Twist & Shout Bash. Surrounded by family, friends, and Miami’s philanthropic community, we celebrated the belief that love is all you need, kindness never goes out of style, and together we can let it be the start of another year of meaningful impact.
