The Archdiocese of Miami celebrated its 60th anniversary with its 2018 Diamond Anniversary Gala on Saturday, Oct. 20, at Marlins Park. Led by His Excellency Archbishop Thomas Wenski, today’s Archdiocese proudly serves more than 1.3 million Catholics.

Presented by BelGioioso Cheese Inc., The White Gala to Honor the White Collar raised more than $2.75 million for the spiritual and educational needs of seminarians in South Florida.

With festivities headlined by disco superstar Gloria Gaynor who wowed guests with hits like I will Survive and Never Can Say Goodbye, guests dined and danced all in support of local clergy that have tirelessly served the Catholic community. Notable attendees included Apostolic Nuncio to Cuba Archbishop Giorgio Lingua, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Doral Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez.

In addition to dining and dancing, attendees bid on an array of auction items including: a 10-day Oceania cruise, Romero Britto original painting, 10-night European Heritage cruise aboard a Regent Seven Seas ship, private dinner for 10 with the Archbishop of Miami and a one week stay in one of Casa De Campo’s premier homes Villa Alegria in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

In addition to Diamond presenting sponsor BelGioioso Cheese Inc., White Collar sponsors included the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, Medina Family Foundation, Ferraro Family Foundation, City Furniture, Dickinson Foundation, DiMare Fresh, HCA and iPayout.
