The American Cancer Society celebrates its official kick off to the the 2017 “One More Time, Dancing for a Cause” Gala presented by Miami Cancer Institute-Baptist Health South Florida. The opening reception, which happens Jan. 25 at the Fred Astaire Dancing Studios (45 Alhambra Plaza, Coral Gables), will host more than 120 of Miami’s most affluent people — and promises to be one of Miami’s best events.
Committee members, sponsors, and community leaders will gather to raise awareness and get everyone excited for the 2017 “One More Time, Dancing for a Cause” Gala. A wine and spirits auction will also take place were local celebrities and leaders have donated a signed bottle of their choice to raise funds for our organization and mission.
