Miami, FL – March 18, 2017 – More than 400 business leaders, philanthropists and youth advocates joined Miami Bridge for a fun-filled evening of dancing to the music of DJ Laz, experiencing several interactive stations, including a “Frost Yourself” station-featuring body glitter and rhinestones, the performer ‘Nitro Girl,’ arctic-themed sweets, a life-sized snow globe selfie station and much more. The gala took place at The Sacred Space in trendy Wynwood with CBS’s Lauren Pastrana serving as MC. The event’s top-tier sponsors included Bacardi, Coastal Construction, Commissioner Francis Suarez, District Four, Greenspoon Marder along with presenting sponsor, Ryder Systems, Inc. This year’s theme was inspired by the life-changing services provided by Miami Bridge and its hard-working and dedicated staff-who have literally taken youth from the ‘darkness’ of abuse, violence, neglect, and human trafficking – to the ‘light’ of love, respect, and dignity as they are helped to get on the path to self-sufficiency
