The Bean Automotive Group sponsored the 8th Annual Bean Automotive Group Bella’s Ball in support of childhood cancer research on September 17th at Trump National Doral Miami. Bella Believers from everywhere came together for a night of celebration for survivors and fundraising for families battling cancer. This year’s ball was themed after The Wizard of Oz, complete with a yellow brick road and Dorothy’s beloved Toto.
This is the Bean Automotive Group’s 5th time sponsoring Bella’s Ball and this event was one of the biggest and most beautiful yet. The grand ballroom was transformed to the beautiful Emerald City with towering green “emerald” posts, golden chandeliers, life-size poppies, yellow brick road dancefloor, and fresh flower arrangements. Every year, Bella’s Ball is decorated with various flowers and plants at every table, signifying hope for better treatment options and a better future for the children facing cancer.
The Live Like Bella® Cancer Foundation has been at the forefront of finding a cure for childhood cancer since the foundation was founded in 2013 by Raymond and Shannah Rodriguez-Torres, Bella’s parents. Since then, the foundation has provided over 2.5 million dollars in financial assistance to families across the world for everything from gas and groceries to assistance with bills.
With 43 children diagnosed with cancer every day in the U.S., many families are dealing with the heartache knowing their child is sick while having to deal with added expenses and tougher responsibilities. Live Like Bella® aims to help as many families as they can, knowing how tough it is to deal with childhood cancer. The founders had to deal with an immense loss themselves, losing their beloved Bella to Stage Four Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. With their loss heavy in their hearts, the Rodriguez-Torres family wanted to carry Bella’s legacy on and help other families dealing with cancer. Nine years later, the legacy continues on, hosting their 8th ball and raising over $100,000 to directly help families.
