Coral Gables, FL – February 18, 2016 – Hundreds of Miami’s stylish philanthropists joined committee hosts Erin Newberg, Lauren Gnazzo, Rachel Alpert, Daniela Frewa, Julia Ford-Carther, and Iva Kosovic and No More Tears founder Somy Ali for a beautiful and beneficent evening of shopping, sipping and supporting at Jimmy Choo, Village of Merrick Park. The glamorous event at the designer shoe retailer benefitted No More Tears, a South Florida non-profit organization with a mission to assist and empower victims of human and sex trafficking. Between champagne toasts and decadent noshes, No More Tears founder Somy Ali made a moving speech that raised awareness of the prevalence of human and sex trafficking in the local community, and the honorable and daily efforts she and her volunteers make to help and rehabilitate its victims. A portion of the evening’s sales went directly to the No More Tears survivor programs, as no one at the organization takes a salary.
