Miami, FL – April 7, 2018 – The Greater Miami & The Keys Chapter of the American Red Cross honored Iberia-American pop music icon, Chayanne at its 36th Annual Red Cross Ball, “A Masquerade in Red”, on Saturday, April 7th at The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne, Miami. Chayanne, a long-time volunteer and member of the Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet, was presented with the Crystal Cross Award, which honors celebrities and entertainment partners who have shown exemplary support of and service to the lifesaving mission of the Red Cross. Chayanne has been advocating for the importance of blood donation for many years, and most recently, following the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria in his native Puerto Rico, has been incredibly active with the disaster relief efforts. This year’s ball was chaired by Ana and Cecil Milton alongside Philanthropic Chairs Swanee and Paul DiMare and celebrated the life-saving services provided by the Red Cross in South Florida. Almost 400 guests were in attendance, sporting their finest red attire and ornate masks in keeping with the theme, “A Masquerade in Red.” Guests were treated to the sweet sounds of Soul Survivors amid spectacular decor imagined by Lori M Productions. The evening’s program and auction featured a wine wall sponsored by Bob Dickinson and curated by the Red Cross Ball committee, spectacular cruises by Norwegian Cruise Lines and Oceania Cruises, and VIP tickets to the Miami Marlins and the Miami Heat spectacular, among dozens of other fabulous items.
