More than 450 ladies slipped into their

stilettos and joined together at the sold out sec-

ond annual Wine, Women and Shoes Presented

by Elizabeth Spill for a day of shopping and

fun with the common purpose of supporting

world-class pediatric healthcare.

Guests from throughout South Florida gath-

ered at Coral Gables Country Club on Feb. 7

not only to raise their glasses, but raise nearly

$450,000 to benefit the children and families

at Miami Children’s Hospital, which nearly

doubled the amount raised at the inaugural

event.

“We are proud to announce that after 150

Wine Women & Shoes events produced

throughout the country over the past eight

years, Miami Children’s Hospital

Foundation’s event in only its second year

has raised more than any single Wine Women

and Shoes event in history,” said Elaine

Honig, Wine, Women and Shoes founder and

president.

Guests were treated to a sophisticated day of

wine tasting, a silent auction featuring lavish

trips and experiences as well as a fashion mar-

ketplace and a fashion show presented by

Neiman Marcus Coral Gables.

Event co-chair and CBS4 anchor Shannon

Hori once again served as emcee. Joined by

her fellow co-chairs, Criselda Breene and

Carola Pimentel, Hori called upon the women

in the audience to donate to Miami Children’s

Hospital Foundation.

“Miami Children’s Hospital is here for my

family because of people like you,” Hori said.

“This event sold out two months ago because you

care about our children and I encourage everyone

in the community not to take this precious gem

for granted and donate to help fund world-class

children’s healthcare in our backyard.”

In observance of February’s Heart Month,

guests had the opportunity to hear from

Vanessa Martinez, whose 19-month-old

daughter Luna’s life was saved by the

Miami Children’s Hospital cardiac team.

Luna also made a special appearance on

stage.

“I feel so lucky to have a hospital like

Miami Children’s in our community,

because if it was not for their incredible

doctors and staff, Luna would not be here

today,” Martinez said.

“Luna is a real miracle. Through events

like this one and donations of supporters,

this incredible hospital can continue to

make miracles for families like ours.”

Three fashionistas were awarded with

Neiman Marcus gift certificates for win-

ning a shoe contest. Andrea Noboa won

“Best Stiletto,” Priya Panjabi won “Best

Classic” and Barbara Becker came home

with the prize for “Best Overall” shoes.

Shoe judges included CBS4 entertainment

reporter Lisa Petrillo, 2012 Best Overall

winner Alison Kunkel and Miami

Children’s Hospital Foundation president

and CEO Lucy Morillo-Agnetti.

“I’m very excited that we are able to

bring together women of all generations

for philanthropy, friendship and fun,”

Morillo-Agnetti said. “When it comes to

our children, we only want the best. Miami

Children’s Hospital is about providing the

best healthcare of the children of our com-

munity and across the world.”

The luncheon also was highlighted by

the “Shoe Guys” who showed off the latest

ladies fashions on a silver platter, literally.

Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation is a

not-for profit 501(c)(3) established to create a

world-class pediatric hospital in South

Florida. To learn more about the Foundation

March has been a busy month for

players of the Miracle League of Miami-

Dade.

The Miracle League kids played a spe-

cial game on the field at UM’s Mark

Light Field on Saturday, Mar. 9.

Hurricanes head coach Jim Morris and

the Hurricanes baseball team wanted to

be involved in this project and offered

their time and expertise to buddy the

special needs children of the Miracle

League.

“Through the support of the

University of Miami and other presti-

gious organizations in Miami Dade

County, we have been able to raise a

great awareness for our project,” said

Miracle League co-founder Keith Reilly.

“We now need the community’s finan-

cial support to begin building our field

this year.”

Coach Morris is a supporter of the

Miracle League and encourages his

players to give back to the community.

Stephen Pugh, UM assistant director of

marketing, donated specially designed

players’ uniform shirts for the game to

make the day extra special for the kids.

The Hurricanes also have invited the

Miracle League to be a part of the

Saturday, Mar. 23, game against Virginia

Tech. UM will honor the Miracle League

players, announcing their names over

the PA as they take the field for the

national anthem with the Hurricanes

players.

As part of the ongoing fundraising

efforts, the Miracle League invited several

philanthropic supporters in the community

to attend the game. Many, including

Miami’s own Marc Buoniconti of the

Miami Project, came out to Mark Light

Field to cheer on the kids. After seeing the

struggles these children face and the joy

they experienced in the two-inning game,

Buoniconti expressed his commitment to

supporting the project and his desire to

help build theMiracle League field.

“I’d like to thank the University of

Miami and head coach Jim Morris for

their support of our disabled children,”

said Sandy Robinson of the Miracle

League. “Their willingness to share the

field at Mark Light with the kids means

so much to them and their families. It’s

truly an unforgettable experience for our

Miracle League players.”

More than 100 college students recentlypulled an all-nighter — with a philanthrop-ic twist.

During the fourth annual “PhilADthropy”event on Friday, Feb. 8, and Saturday, Feb.9, University of Miami School ofCommunication students provided freeadvertising and public relations services to16 South Florida nonprofit organizations injust 25 hours, creating materials such asvibrant advertising, buzz-worthy viralvideos, cool websites and more.

PhilADthropy began at 11 a.m. on Fridayand lasted until noon on Saturday whenfinal projects were unveiled to the nonprof-its during a reception. This year, a record207 organizations applied for help, up fromjust 11 when the event was established in2009. Selected nonprofits included EasterSeals South Florida; the Parks Foundation

of Miami-Dade, and the Mystic ForceFoundation, an organization working tofind a cure for childhood cancer.

PhilADthropy is organized annually bythe school’s advertising program and host-ed by AD Group, an advertising club forstudents.

“We are beyond thrilled. We feel like wewent to a New York ad agency with anunlimited budget,” said Susie Hansen, ofAbandoned Pet Rescue, one of SouthFlorida’s largest no-kill animal shelter thatthrough PhilADthropy received a glossynew brochure, website makeover advice,and several vibrant posters spotlighting thecute puppies and kittens the organizationsaves each day.

The event drew 133 student volunteerswho, led by UM faculty and industry pro-fessionals, put into practice the skills theyhave learned in the classroom.

“I was expecting maybe a flyer or two,

but I’m walking out with so much more tomake people aware of our organization.The students surpassed anything that Icould have ever imagined,” said BiancaCaviglia, president and COO of GuitarsOver Guns, an after-school mentoring pro-gram that pairs at-risk youths with profes-sional musicians who serve as mentorsusing popular music to connect with theadolescents and help them overcome thenegative influences in their lives.

UM students created an entire brandingcampaign for Guitars Over Guns — com-plete with a new logo, advertisements,social media, business cards, and other pro-motional materials.

“I’m still recovering from working 25hours straight,” said Katelyn Murray, 21,an advertising student who has taken partin the event each year. “But when you handover the work that you’ve spent all nightcreating and see just how grateful the non-

profits are, it’s worth it, and it’s why Icome back every year.”

“The event was a huge success,” addedMeryl Blau, a UM advertising professorand founder of the event. “The students puttheir heart and souls into it and you couldtell from the work they produced. They dida fantastic job, everyone had a lot of fun,and the nonprofits were so happy with theresults.”

PhilADthropy was sponsored by CrispinPorter + Bogusky, Pasha’s, Conill, Sergio’sFamily Restaurants, Titan Reprographics,URAWk Energy Bars, ZICO CoconutWater, popchips, LIME Fresh MexicanGrill at Dadeland, SapientNitro, RoninAdvertising Group, Distraction Magazine,TCBY, and Lionsden Creative Inc.

Improv is being used to help businesspeople overcome their fear of speaking infront of groups.

Carey Kane, founder of Improv YourselfCommunications, is offering workshops andclasses to help companies train theiremployees in better presentation skills.

“We teach professional how to think bet-ter on their feet,” Kane said. “We also teachthem how to speak from a place of confi-dence, so that their clients feel at ease.”

The goal of the classes is to boost produc-tivity through communicating better bothwithin the company and out to the world.

“You are making the work more enjoyablebecause you’re communicating better,” shesaid “That brings clients in and boosts thebottom line.”

Kane began teaching the classes part-timeas evening courses in 2005. Throughout thattime, her dream was to teach the courses asa full-time venture.

“We do tailor a workshop to the needs ofeach company,” Kane said. “Among ourarray of workshop options, we offer one tai-lored to women professionals and womenattorneys. We also offer one-on-one publicspeaking coaching.”

Improv Yourself has been offering theworkshops since April. Their clients includeCrispin Porter + Bogusky and AntoniaCanero PA, a Brickell Avenue law firm.

The classes were developed after years ofbeing in professions that required publicspeaking.

Kane grew up in Pinecrest and left toattend college at Northwestern. After col-lege, she worked for Teach for America andnon-profits including Breakthrough Miami.

Her ability to stand in front of others andspeak comfortably came from her years inacting classes.

“When I took acting classes I didn’t planon “I’m going to use that for public speaking

skills,” Kane said.The workshops have paid off for atten-

dees. Kane said one of the attorneys whotook her evening courses was asked by hissenior partners what he was doing that hadimproved not only his litigation skills but hisinterpersonal skills.

Kane said a popular misconception aboutImprov is that you have to be funny.

“Stand up comedy is when you need to befunny,” she said. “The courses are not aboutbeing funny but they are enjoyable. You’reanchoring the learning in fun.”

When someone is going in front of theclass doing Improv, Kane helps themthrough the presentation through gentle sidecoaching.

“I teach people how to not underminethemselves,” she said. “Improv helps with somany skills.”

One of those skills is collaboration.“You build brick by brick,” she said.

“Your partner adds the mortar, and you addthe brick.”

Although Improv teaches you to be in themoment, it doesn’t mean that she advocatesan undisciplined approach to work. Shecomes from a corporate culture but likes tothink outside the box and help others torelease their creativity.

Kane’s work has caught the attention ofnot only companies but ABC News.

“ABC News came out a couple ofmonths ago and they covered a class andafterward they interviewed students abouthow it helped them with their careers,”she said.

When she went into business full-time shetook on a partner, Israel Maya, who was oneof her first Improv Yourself students.

“When enough attorneys and bankers toldus, you’ve got to do this, I knew enough toapproach him,” she said. “He’s an outstand-ing teacher as well.”

The three charitable recipientswere Best Buddies of Southwest MiamiSenior High School ($7,000), the MiamiRescue Mission ($7,000) and the OfficerDuncan Kidson (ODK) Food Pantry($3,675). The organizations selected werenominated and voted upon by Magic CityCasino’s managing directors.

“As a family-owned local casino, MagicCity Casino is happy to support thoseorganizations doing good in our communi-ty, including the Miami Rescue Mission,Best Buddies of Southwest Miami SeniorHigh School and the Officer DuncanKidson Food Pantry,” said Scott Savin,chief operating officer of Magic CityCasino. “We are happy to use small changeleft behind for a greater good and to see thevalue it will bring to the community.”

Pairing high school students and thosewith intellectual and developmental dis-abilities, Best Buddies allows students tohave friends outside of their special educa-tion classrooms. Best Buddies cultivatesthese one-to-one friendships by introduc-ing programs to public and private highschools such as the one at SouthwestMiami Senior High and breaking the barri-er that too often separates those with dis-abilities from those without.

“This donation will allow us to purchase

technological tools for our students andteachers including laptops and iPads,” saidCeleste Sadler, National Board CertifiedExceptional Student Education (ESE)Teacher at Southwest Miami Senior HighSchool. “We are so appreciative for thehelp this lends us. Thank you, Magic CityCasino.”
