Cheers to Charity, the annual gathering at Joe's Stone Crab on Miami Beach to raise funds for archdiocesan charities, marked its 10th anniversary April 27, 2022.
The money raised by the fundraiser, which was
launched in 2012, has benefited the charitable works of the Archdiocese of
Miami that serve those most in need.
This year, Cheers raised over $188,000, for a grand
total of $1,065,146 over the last decade.
“The event sold out in three days this year, with
more $5,000 and $10,000 sponsors than ever,” said Katie Blanco Bordeau, president
of the archdiocese’s Development Corporation. “I think it is so popular because
it is a win-win from every perspective. Great cause, great location, great
atmosphere, a great way to gather as a community but also, as a table sponsor,
with your friends and family.”
Watch for information on next year’s Cheers to
Charity around February 2023 on the Development Office’s website.
Another fun fundraising event,
the annual Havana Nights, is scheduled for Thursday, May 12, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the
American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora, 1200 Coral Way in Miami.
Tickets are $50 or $500 for a domino table
sponsorship, which includes four guests and a reserved domino table. Proceeds
benefit the Unaccompanied Minors Program of Catholic Charities.
