25th Anniversary at the Annual Be A Voice Have A Heart Gala
02/14/2009 - By Mandarin Oriental, Miami

25th Anniversary at the Annual Be A Voice Have A Heart Gala

Voices For Children Foundation Celebrates its 25th Anniversary at Annual Be A Voice Have A Heart Gala

Voices For Children Foundation, the fundraising arm of the 11th Judicial Circuit Guardian Ad Litem Program, celebrated its 25th Anniversary at the Annual Be A Voice Have A Heart Gala. Held at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, the event brought together over 300 guests, proving that child abuse prevention is still deeply rooted in our community.

The cocktail hour kicked-off the celebrations with an impressive selection of silent auction items, including a Rolling Stones autographed guitar, fine jewelry and travel, and more. Once in the ballroom, Laurie Jennings, the evening’s Emcee and longtime friend of the organization, graciously thanked all in attendance as well as the evening’s Presenting Sponsors: Machado Garcia-Sierra Communications; Mandarin Oriental, Miami; Rose Realty and Associates; and Southern Wine and Spirits. Later in the evening, equipped with just a microphone, Sergio Martinez, this year’s testimonial, moved the audience to tears when he talked about his family’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of those in need, and the adoption story of their eight children, seven from foster care.

The evening also included a raffle for a Voyage to a “Jewel of the Orient,” courtesy of Cathay Pacific Airways and a drawing for a custom portrait by Romero Britto, valued at $45,000, and reserved for those who joined the organization’s Angel Society that night. Be A Voice, visit www.voices4.org.
