MIAMI – March 2, 2022 – The Little Lighthouse Foundation’s (“LLF”) 12th annual Hearts & Stars Gala will take place on Saturday, March 19th, 2022 in Miami Design District’s Jungle Plaza. All proceeds of this spectacular event will go towards benefiting LLF’s mission of assisting children and families in South Florida who struggle with educational, financial, and medical hardships.
Guests are invited to dance the night away at the Roaring Twenties themed party hosted by WPLG-Local 10 multiple Emmy-award-winning journalist, and anchor, Louis Aguirre. Featured bite’s from some of South Florida’s top restaurants — including Coyo Taco and Delicious Caterer — paired with over-the-top production designed to ensure that guests experience a night to remember.
Before the night ends, The Little Lighthouse Foundation Shining Light Award will be presented to Kieran Bowers designating him as the community member who embodies the spirit of philanthropy and significantly furthers LLF’s mission. LLF will also present its Volunteer Partner award to Global Empowerment Mission— an upstanding organization that does extraordinary work in supporting underserved children.
What distinguishes this organization from many of similar size is how much of its work depends on volunteers showing up in person rather than simply writing checks. Programs like reading hours at shelters or craft nights at family residences require people on site, week after week, which builds a different kind of relationship between a charity and its supporters. An annual gala in that context functions as much as a gathering of the people who do the work as a fundraiser.
For tickets, please visit HeartsAndStarsGala.com. Nightclub style VIP tables are also available which include VIP tickets for ten guests and unlimited bottle service. To inquire, please email Jonathan@TheLittleLighthouse.org, or call 305-401-3949.
