Miami Beach, FL – June 4, 2016 – The 17th Annual Mayor’s Ball hosted by Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos and Lourdes Gimenez to benefit United Way of Miami-Dade was a great success, raising almost $1.2 million for local programs that help create a more educated, financially stable, and healthy community. Almost 800 of Miami’s most influential leaders from business, government, and philanthropy gathered to celebrate the spirit of working together to build a stronger Miami. Presented by Suffolk Cares, the event was held at LIV at Fontainebleau Miami Beach. This is the fifth year Lourdes and Mayor Gimenez served as honorary chairs, carrying on the legacy created by former Mayor Alex Penelas and his wife, Lilliam, in 1998. United Way was selected as the beneficiary of Mayor’s Ball given its broad reach across Miami-Dade County and its residents. This years event was chaired by Vincent Signorello, president and CEO, FECI (Florida East Coast Industries), and his wife, Shannon, who were instrumental in updating the look and feel, even moving it to a nightclub for the first time.
