Mark your calendar for a special celebration on Saturday, June 3. The community will come together to honor distinguished Chamber leaders at the 95th Annual Gala and Silent Auction. On behalf of our Gala committee, we honor these dedicated Chamber champions who have shown a relentless passion for elevating our organization to a new level.
More than 800 guests will gather for a magical evening at the newly-remodeled iconic Loews Miami Beach Hotel. The event raises money for the Miami Beach Chamber Education Foundation, which serves to support and boost awareness of public education in Miami Beach.
Guests will be treated to live music, entertainment, and interactive activities including an amazing magician performing for each table and an incredible magic show at the end of the evening.
We will honor award winners who have diverse professional backgrounds in our community: Bob Drinon and Breakthru Beverage, Jan Pfeiffer Distinguished Service Award for spearheading tremendous philanthropic efforts for numerous area nonprofits; Tara Solomon, Excellence in Tourism Award for developing strategic PR and marketing efforts that have helped shape the tourism and hospitality industry; Commissioner Joy Malakoff, City National Bank Miami Beach Senior High Alumni Outstanding Achievement Award for being an active member of the community; Noah Horwitz and Art Basel, Corporate Citizen of the Year Award for significant cultural contributions; Tibor Hollo, Lifetime Achievement Award, for his tireless work in the real estate industry; and Howard Lorber, Member of the Decade Award, for creating a leading brokerage firm that has grown into the nation’s fourth largest real estate company.
This special night is made possible due to the hard work of our Gala committee: Jessica Fuentes, chair and owner of Café Avanti; and co-vice chairs Jeff Greene, owner of 84 West Studios, and Leila Chang, owner of Florida Dental Benefits. On behalf of the Chamber, we express our sincere thanks for their support. I encourage local businesses to make their mark by sponsoring the Gala: Contact the Chamber for sponsorships and tickets at (305) 674-1300.
I hope to see you at this magical event.
All the best,
Wayne Pathman
