Miami Beach, FL – March 16, 2019 – Baptist Health South Florida’s Grand Gala was an extraordinary success, raising more than $6.5 million at The Miami Beach Convention Center. Attended by more than 2,000 guests, it was the largest social and fundraising event in the healthcare organization’s history, with proceeds uniquely benefiting the Baptist Health cause of each gala-goer’s choice – including Miami Cancer Institute, Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, or any of the organization’s 10 hospitals and clinical, community or educational programs from the Florida Keys to Palm Beach. The exquisite affair, presented by MEDNAX Health Solutions Partner, was attended by notable guests including co-chairs, Baptist Health President & CEO Brian E. Keeley, and Suzanne Keeley Ph.D., and Lani Kahn Drody, host committee chair. Michael Feinstein, the multi-platinum-selling, five-time Grammy-nominated singer and pianist dubbed “The Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” proudly served as The Grand Gala’s headline entertainer, and captivated guests with a 45-minute performance of iconic songs.
