A scholarship commitment
The Supreme Twins Foundation announced a $60,000 scholarship fund with Miami Dade College’s ACCESS Program at its inaugural celebration on Sept. 6, 2025, according to the foundation’s account of the event. The plan provides $2,000 annual awards to 10 students with disabilities each year for three years, with the first awards scheduled to begin in spring 2026, the foundation said in its subsequent scholarship announcement: inaugural-gala account and scholarship announcement.
A camp for neurodivergent children
The foundation’s other named college initiative is EmpowerU Summer Camp. Miami Dade College’s School of Continuing Education and Professional Development partnered with the foundation in April to open the camp at the Kendall Campus. The college described it in its announcement as its first educational program designed specifically for neurodivergent children.
A family experience behind the mission
The broader need for services
The foundation’s focus comes amid significant unmet demand for developmental-disability supports in Florida. According to the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities, more than 23,000 individuals are waiting for waiver services in the state, and Prader-Willi syndrome is among the developmental disabilities listed in the agency’s eligibility guidance.
Ilieva and Miguel Valdés founded the Supreme Twins Foundation after raising their twin daughters, Nathaly and Nicolee, who were diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, according to the foundation’s account of its inaugural celebration. The organization says its work includes therapeutic services, education and employment opportunities, and support for caregivers. Its programs are intended to serve children, young adults, adults with disabilities and their families.
The gala’s reported contribution
The foundation’s second annual gala in Miami was the latest fundraising event tied to those efforts. Nearly 400 local businesses participated, and proceeds were reported to support therapeutic services, education, caregiver assistance and vocational training, as well as Miami Dade College’s ACCESS Program and EmpowerU Summer Camp, according to WSVN 7News.
