The Miami Open presented by Itaú will launch the third edition of its ‘MIAMI OPEN UNITES’ campaign on Monday, March 20, 2023. The day of service aims to unite ATP and WTA players, Miami Open staff, and volunteers to aid the vulnerable in various philanthropic projects across Miami-Dade County. Additionally, ATP, WTA, Miami Open, and Hologic will provide a financial contribution to each participating organization.

The event will begin at 10:00 AM when volunteers will support Rebuilding Together in renovating the house of Miami-Dade County's veteran, Thomas Coates, a retired Air Force E6 Sergeant. The players will assist in painting and landscaping to provide valuable assistance to the organization.
