A night to remember
SU-O1. (Pictures: Kris Mincev & Gary Sandelier) Was a fresh and windy night in Balharbour, the night Saks Fifth Avenue organized the traditional “Destination Fashion” by “Buoniconti Foundation to Cure Paralysis.”
The Cure for Paralisis is here
30 celebrities names were contained in the press facebook, though the red carpet was burning when the best sports players and their wives walked alongside Hollywood actors on a fine parade of generous hearts.
Sport and Hollywood Starts
People who weren’t listed, such as Chris and Pat Ryle, president of
the Miami Heat, and others like Alonzo Mouring avoided the red
carpet to pass behind the photographers running as if in a training session.
I guess their financial contribution was to immense for refusing to be photographed on the red carpet, as did other successful sports legends and athletes including major film actor Tommy Lee Jones and senior television
Talent Tom Brokaw or Leslie Visser.
Pat Riley & Mourning
They were among others who exposed the means to
support the cause and attract more people to participate in the most generous night of the year.
Major Celebrities for a great cause
The Contribution was $ 1000.oo
input, as a donation for the cure of paralysis and the opportunity to socialize with the high society of philanthropists like Sr.Tibor & Sheila Hollo, Dr. Sanfod and
Beatrice Ziff, among dozens of successful couples.
Well established Philanthropists in South Fl.
Several Hispanic sport players and human treasures such as:Tony Perez Former MLB player of the Cincinnati Reds, Venezuelan baseball
player Miguel Cabrera, the young gymnast Danell Leyva, Indy race car driver and Brazilian sensation “Dancing with the Stars competitor” Helio Castroneves, and the Argentinian model “professional
polo player” Nacho Figueras, put the Latin flavor along with the expected mini concert of 7 songs at 10 pm by Spaniard Singer Enrique Iglesias.
More support than expected
There was no better event organized in the Capital of the Americas during 2012, by two superwomen, Susie and Stephanie Sayfie, with their great ladies team, they managed to put a luxurious combo to stimulate the generosity of donors; a dinner to mingle with real celebrities, magnates and successful business men.
The Super Team
This was an exclusive midnight sale, in the most elite International Florida Mall in South Florida, “Balharbour Shops” comprised with the most exclusive brands in the world.
Some of the awarded ladies of the night
If that was not enough, there was a huge display of delicious desserts throughout and open bar on every aisle to the delight of the guests, who celebrated in the most generous mood after the award to “Women of substance and style of 2012 ” a recognition established by this noble foundation.
Generous ♥ of Christine Lynn
This donation has a Destination to build the first building designed strictly to provide the most advanced treatment with the best technology for problems and diseases of the spine, with suites specially profiled for people with spinal injuries, surgical rooms for the best doctors, intensive care units and rehabilitation center for the cure of paralysis.
Breaking Records in Donations
When people recovered from the gasping surprise of
the generous gift that Miss Lynn gave, the audience spontaneously followed, and chain founder of Outback Steakhouse Tim Gannon and Miami philanthropists Swanee and Paul DiMare donated $ 1 million Dollars each.
Thereafter, the participants did their part and donations poured in to complete $ 31 million, breaking the record for fundraising in one night.
