Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade will celebrate its 14th annual “Claws for Kids” in memory of Judy Kramer at Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach on Tuesday, May 6. Registration and the reception begin at 11 a.m., followed by entertainment and dining at noon.

Guests will delight in Joe’s world-famous stone crabs and signature items without the wait.

The fundraising lunch is one of the last chances to enjoy stone crabs before stone crab season ends.

Supporters who cannot attend the event can still enjoy Joe’s famous stone crabs at home or on a date of their choice with the purchase of a gift card, just in time for Mother’s Day.

“Claws for Kids” is held in memory of Judy Kramer, a longtime Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade Board member, who helped conceptualize the event and chaired it since its inception until her passing in 2021.

Proceeds will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s crucial programs and services at its six clubs and sites combined, including its educational after-school programs, tutoring and homework assistance, STEM, recreation, dance, arts and crafts, mentoring and summer and athletic programs. These programs help children realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.

“We’re excited to return to Joe’s Stone Crab to celebrate our 14th annual ‘Claws for Kids’ to support great futures for Miami-Dade area youth. The luncheon is always a favorite among our supporters,” said Alex Rodriguez-Roig, president of Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade.

“The annual event wouldn’t be possible without the support of our long-time partner Joe’s Stone Crab, special event chair Olga Guilarte, returning co-chairs Lisa Mendelson and Lindsey Mendelson Pearson, our board members, sponsors and donors.

“The funds will support Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s educational after-school programs, tutoring and homework assistance, STEM, dance, arts and crafts, mentoring and summer and athletic programs. These programs help children realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.”

Joe’s Stone Crab is located at 11 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, FL 33139.
