Coral Gables, FL – February 18, 2016 – What do you get when you mix high fashion, education, philanthropic women and rose wine? A successful event that raised over $48,000 for Breakthrough Miami, a program that targets high potential, motivated students from under-resourced backgrounds and provides the tools necessary for them to graduate high school on time and attend and graduate from college. Neiman Marcus, Coral Gables hosted a sit-down lunch to benefit Breakthrough Miami. Over 70 of Miami’s most conscientious women were invited to attend by event chair, Michele King Soffer. Table hosts included, Boo Zamek, Eilah Beavers, Hayley Denman, Kinga Lampert, Lana Bernstein, Lindsay Spalding-Steven and Julie Spalding- Steven.
