Baptist Health Foundation will celebrate its 2025 Grand Gala benefiting Baptist Health on Saturday, November 8 the Miami Beach Convention Center Grand Ballroom. The annual event, which raises funds for Baptist Health entities and programs throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties, will feature a cocktail reception, formal dinner, silent auction and renowned entertainment. The Gala will also feature an exclusive live performance generously provided by international superstar Luis Fonsi.
press re“We are thrilled to have Luis Fonsi as our Gala headliner and honorary chair,” said Alex Villoch, CEO of Baptist Health Foundation. “He’s one of today’s most popular and talented Latin artists, and his music draws a wide spectrum of fans. We can’t wait for our guests to experience the energy and excitement of this one-of-a-kind performance.”
Luis Fonsi is a globally acclaimed, award-winning artist and one of the most influential figures in Latin music of his generation, with a career spanning more than 25 years. With his unmistakable voice, exceptional talent and an extensive list of chart-topping hits, he has transcended borders, broken cultural barriers and captivated millions around the world. Fonsi has been honored with numerous gold, platinum, and diamond certifications, as well as some of the most prestigious awards in the music industry — including six GRAMMY® nominations, six Latin GRAMMYs®, 12 Latin Billboard Awards and five Billboard Music Awards, just to name a few. His record-breaking success includes seven Guinness World Records, largely thanks to the global phenomenon “Despacito,” which became one of the most streamed and viewed songs in history.
Fonsi, who lives in Miami, credits Baptist Health for its expertise, compassion and commitment to South Florida. “My family and I have always relied on Baptist Health — it’s an important resource in our growing community,” he said.
Added Villoch, “Baptist Health is meeting the challenges of the future by pursuing a reimagined approach to patient care, the best minds in medicine, a new era in research and global hub for innovation. By supporting the The Grand Gala, our donors and corporate philanthropy partners continue to power extraordinary healthcare in South Florida and beyond.”
