Volunteers worked alongside young athletes of all abilities, helping them participate in adaptive sports, build confidence, and celebrate their resilience. This inspiring event is just one of many initiatives the Junior Orange Bowl produces each year to showcase and support our youth.<\/p>\n

Proceeds benefit the club\u2019s free children\u2019s dental clinic, which provides essential services to children in need.<\/p>\n This month\u2019s event was humorously renamed \u201cGringa Bingo\u201d when Alexandria Guillen stepped in to call the numbers in place of regular volunteer caller \u201cGringo\u201d Steven Bradley, managing partner of Vivo Sports & Social in Doral, who was the inspiration for the event since its inception in 2019.<\/p>\n On Mar. 27, raising more funds to support the club\u2019s free dental clinic, the Gables Woman\u2019s Club held another event on the Granada Golf Course called \u201cTee Time Under the Stars.\u201d Guests enjoyed glow in the dark golf with lighted holes plus lots of delicious food and drinks and even more laughs.<\/p>\n Looking ahead, the club\u2019s Mother\u2019s Day Brunch on May 9, presented by South Florida PBS, promises to be spectacular, featuring a carvery station, unlimited mimosas, a silent auction, music, and more. The event ties into the popular Titanic Immersive Voyage, which continues to sell out monthly.<\/p>\n Club president Arely Ruiz with event co-chairs Carmen Suarez and Rita Tennyson, and Silent Auction chair Mayra Dominguez are especially grateful to South Florida PBS, the event\u2019s major sponsor. Tickets are available on Eventbrite at $200 for adults and $100 for guests under 21.<\/p>\n Speaking of the Titanic experience, the GFWC Doral West Dade Woman\u2019s Club is organizing a special trip on Apr. 25 to Boynton Beach for a VIP after-hours visit. Guests will party as they travel on a luxury bus departing International Mall at 3 p.m., complete with food, drinks, and games. The experience will continue on the return trip with a boxed meal and a fun Titanic trivia competition with prizes.<\/p>\n Special thanks go to South Florida PBS chief of marketing and education Jeneissy Azcuy, along with R Catering and Birdie Bistro owner Rita Tennyson, whose generous support promises to make this a terrific affair. A limited number of tickets remain available at $150 per person.<\/p>\n The Greater Kendall Business Association held its Signature Luncheon on Mar. 26 at Fogo de Ch\u00e3o Dadeland. The featured speaker, Manny Cid, Miami-Dade County\u2019s Senior Advisor for Economic Opportunity, delivered an engaging and informative presentation on how to do business with the county. From navigating procurement processes to identifying opportunities for small and local businesses, his insights provided valuable guidance for attendees.<\/p>\n As always, South Florida continues to shine with opportunities to connect, celebrate, and give back to the community. In fact, a new annual event, Florida State Day Celebration, was held on Apr. 11, the Saturday after Easter. The timing was perfect for this in 2026, as it was the Saturday after Easter in 1513 that Ponce de Leon discovered and named it Florida, a flowery Easter \u2013 Pascua Florida. This annual celebration was founded by Iacarlo Arispe who was a member of the Coral Gables Chamber and now on staff there.<\/p>\n A few years ago Iancarlo met with the president of the Coral Gables Woman\u2019s Club and owner of ArelyPR, Arely Ruiz and she encouraged him to go for it. So, a few years later it has come to fruition. Guests dressed in red and white for the occasion gathered with dignitaries at The Plaza in Coral Gables for a ribbon cutting and program that brought together three cultures as part of Florida\u2019s history in a year that also celebrates our nation\u2019s 250 birthday.<\/p>\n Proceeds benefit the Sisters of St. Joseph Health Foundation based in Miami that provides philanthropic support for the healthcare ministries of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine. The foundation, the primary fundraising arm for the St. John Bosco Clinic, offers medical care to uninsured and underserved individuals in Miami-Dade County<\/p>\n Dates to save on your calendar Now through July \u2013 The Titanic Immersive Experience presented by South Floria PBS<\/p>\n Apr. 25 \u2013 3 p.m. \u2013 Doral West Dade Woman\u2019s Club Trip on party bus to see Titanic Immersive Voyage in Boynton Beach at S.
