Miami Children’s Museum 2016 Be A Kid Again Gala
Miami, FL – February 27, 2016 – Considered by many to be the most unique and playful event of the South Florida social season, Miami Children’s Museum’s Be A Kid Again Gala held at Soho Studios featured exceptional live entertainment, luxurious auctions and a culinary experience unlike any other. Chaired by Michael and Paula Fay, Miami Children’s Museum took nearly 700 guests to “Miami Vice & Spice,” a world of fast cars, fast boats, exotic cuisine and the pastel streets of Miami and Miami Beach. $1 million was raised to support educational programming with the help of generous donors, sponsors, an extensive silent auction and a high end live auction hosted by Big 105.9 FM Morning Host Paul Castronovo. The event honored community leader Merrett R. Stierheim who for the past five decades, has been a visionary in so many roles for Miami-Dade County.
The night kicked off with a not to be missed cocktail reception filled with an extensive silent auction comprised with unique pieces and fine wine. The highlight of the evening was an energetic live auction featuring spectacular items including: TRG Aston Martin Racing Sonoma Race Weekend Package to experience The Pirelli World Challenge races at Sonoma Raceway, a Miami Heat experience that includes courtside seats and a chance to attend pre-game and post-game action in the TV Studio, and an Audi Q7 36 month lease provided by The Collection. The live auction was followed by a fantastic musical performance from the world’s greatest party band, “Party on the Moon” that had everyone up and dancing. Adding the Spice to the “Miami Vice & Spice” themed extravaganza was a taste tempting array of treats provided by Chef David Schwadron Catering and Event Design and stylish décor by So Cool Events giving it all a Miami Vice twist, that brought to life all the iconic visions of this landmark television legend.
