The Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce proudly hosted its 11th Annual Heroes Breakfast at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, presented by City National Bank. This cherished annual tradition brings our community together to honor and pay tribute to the brave men and women who serve as Miami Beach’s first responders.
It is our great privilege each year to recognize their unwavering dedication, courage, and commitment to keeping our community safe. These heroes work selflessly every day, and the Heroes Breakfast offers an opportunity to celebrate and thank them for their service.
This year’s honorees represented the very best of Miami Beach’s first responder community and partner organizations:
- Joseph Marshal Pigg – U.S. Navy Veteran | Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
- Yandy Lopez – Emergency Room Nurse | Mount Sinai Medical Center
- Firefighter Demian Soares | Miami Beach Fire Department
- Lieutenant John Hirnyk | Miami Beach Fire Department

- Lifeguard Angel Guerrero | Miami Beach Ocean Rescue
- Detective Asharell Jenkins | Miami Beach Police Department
- Officer Christopher Aguila | Miami Beach Police Department
- Detective Bernadette Maher | Miami Beach Police Department
- Officer Kevin Lorenzo | Miami Beach Police Department
Attendees had the special opportunity to view tribute videos that shared the personal stories and professional impact of each honoree. These powerful moments gave the audience a deeper appreciation for the incredible individuals who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting our city. A heartfelt thank you goes to AT&T, our Video Sponsor, for making these moving tributes possible.
The breakfast itself was a beautiful gathering of community leaders, residents, and organizations who came together to show their gratitude. It was truly an honor to celebrate our heroes alongside the Miami Beach Fire Department, Miami Beach Police Department, the VFW, and Mount Sinai Medical Center, whose support makes this event – and our community – stronger each day.
