Jacqueline Proctor
Miami, FL – January 31, 2015 – BrazilFoundation hosted its Fourth Annual Gala Miami at Downtown Miami’s Pérez Art Museum Miami. Chaired by Paulo and Lais Bacchi, owners of luxury Brazilian furnishings company Artefacto, the highly anticipated event attracted a plethora of Brazilian celebrities and socialites. Sponsored by Park Grove, the gala brought together 500 VIPs and tastemakers to raise funds for the foundation, which supports social projects in Brazil. Patrons sipped cocktails, enjoyed a seated dinner and participated in a live auction of luxury items and experiences, including De Grisogono earrings, an IWC Schaffhausen ladies’ watch and “Projeto Cubos” art pieces designed by 10 Brazilian artists in collaboration with Artefacto. Latin Grammy award winning singer Vanessa da Mata gave a stellar performance following the auction. The gala also honored groups in Miami that are helping Brazilian causes, including The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, Fundação Banco do Brasil and more. This year, the BrazilFoundation Gala Miami grossed an incredible $750,000 for BrazilFoundation. Additional sponsors of the evening include De Grisogono, Safra National Bank, Credit Agricole, Goldman Sachs, American Airlines, Diageo and Banco do Brasil.
