Clutch Burger’s Gringo Bingo for Gables Rotary’s veteran’s program fundraiser was a massive success in no small part due to Doral’s Kings Bowl at City Place. The popular CityPlace Doral venue donated an $1,800 party, which was won by President of the Rotary Club of Coral Gables Dr. Susan Fornaris, of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.
Clutch Burger on Giralda Plaza in Coral Gables always has fun activities going on and a great menu. In fact, aside from having managed Kings Bowl before opening Clutch Burger, Steven and Ana are Doral residents.
Steven was so pleased with the first event that he plans on holding these charity fundraisers on a regular basis, the first Tuesday of every month. The April event benefits the Coral Gables Children’s Dental Clinic that serves disadvantaged children from all over Miami-Dade County who are in need of free dental care.
Many thanks to Ana and Steven Bradley and all the local merchants such as Local, Kao Sushi, Bulla, Kings Bowl, RICE, Dragonfly, Miss Saigon Bistro, The BAR, Pisco y Nazca, Smoothie King, The Golden Triangle, Divino Ceviche, Mara, Related ISG International Realty, Community Newspapers, DJ Germaine, and many other donors for their charitable outreach and support for worthy programs.
A Safe Haven for Newborn’s 6th Annual Walk to Eliminate Infant Abandonment on March 9, was a picture perfect day at Amelia Earhart Park. As always Norris Perez, who chaired the walk, was assisted that day by hard working volunteers especially her husband Joe Perez and board member Henry Delgado of Smith & Swollen.
Henry and other volunteer cooks worked hard most of the morning grilling some amazing burgers and hot dogs for sale to raise additional funds for the ASHFN. Of course, Business Forum Group in Doral’s Pete De La Torre came back again to emcee and Miami Heat’s Steve Stowe, Executive Director of the Miami Heat Charitable Foundation, led the Walk as Grand Marshal.
Thus far, this amazing organization founded by Nick Silver has saved 297 babies and helped 5,000 pregnant women.
