In other Doral happenings, the 18th Annual Hispanic Heritage – Noche de Honor VIP Cocktail presented by Chevrolet and in partnership with the City of Doral was held at the International Mall on Friday, September 29, 2023.

Attendees enjoyed enjoy food from several and assorted local restaurants, fashions, and an amazing floor show featuring Ecuadorian heart throb and recording artist Danilo Parra, and his very talented and beautiful sister, Adriana Parra-Simon, who is coming out with her own album soon. The duo rocked the stage for almost an hour to the delight of the cheering crowd.
Finally, kudos to Doral resident Steven Bradley who rocked it on October 10, as emcee for a Gringo Bingo fundraiser with his sidekick, celebrity DJ Germain. This monthly Coral Gables Woman’s Club fundraiser was moved to Bay 13 Brewery & Kitchen enabling a larger crowd with room to expand for this event that benefits multiple charities throughout the year. The event on October 10, 2023, raised more than $2,600 with more than half the proceeds going to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation and the rest to other charitable efforts including CGWC’s free children dental clinic. Adding to the fun that evening was celebrity DJ Germain (IheartRadio) who always makes a party fun. The next Gringo Bingo at Bay 13 will be held Monday, November 13, 2023, with check in at 6:00 p.m. and bingo from 7 – 9 p.m. Proceeds from this CGWC event will be shared with the Alzheimer’s Association.

Finally, many are asking how we can help the people of Israel during this troubling time.
One great option is to visit https://www.chabadofkendall.org/ Donations made through that website will help with humanitarian efforts of Chabad centers in Israel that serve a variety of shelters and crisis centers.
