On April 13, 2013, I attended the “A Starry Night” Gala presented by City National Bank to benefit the Miami Bridge Youth & Family Services. Miami Bridge is a place of caring and sharing which offers troubled youth and families hope and opportunities for a brighter future.
The event was held on the rooftop terrace of the JW Marriott Marquis in Downtown Miami. It was a spectacular fundraiser which included a number of prominent community activists and civic leaders. The funds raised will bolster the outreach of Miami Bridge and will continue to provide critical services to youth in great need, many of whom are homeless or runaways.
I was humbled and honored to have been presented with a plaque in recognition of my support for the shelter located in Homestead. Since my introduction to the shelter, I have supported the organization and have assisted in identifying community partners that could provide funding and resources. With the help of Lennar Homes and Aressco Creative Security Solutions, we have provided $7,000 worth of security cameras to address the safety of youth housed at the shelter. As a strong advocate and supporter, I am fully committed of the services the Miami Bridge provides. An organization as committed, dedicated, and proven in the community as the Miami Bridge is worthy of our support.
