MG Developer, one of Coral Gables’ most active residential property development companies, hosted a charity gala at the Cardozo South Beach Hotel this month. Hosting alongside MG Developer were Emilio and Gloria Estefan, and Carolina Herrera. Kelly Blanco, Entertainment Host and Traffic Anchor, was emcee for the event. In total, more than $100 thousand was raised for the nonprofit organization FundaHigado America.

MG Developer, a subsidiary of MG Capital, provides and implements real-estate-oriented services. The firm has expertise in the design and development of luxury residential properties and rental units in Miami, Coral Gables, and Hialeah. MG Developer is a proponent of philanthropic organizations such as the Coral Gables Community Foundation and FundaHigado America.

FundaHigado America offers training in pediatric liver transplantation to healthcare professionals in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Dr. Pedro A. Rivas and Dr. Tomoaki Kato founded the organization in 2011. Alirio Torrealba, MG Developer’s CEO, is a board member of FundaHigado. He presented Emilio Estefan and Carolina Herrera with special recognitions for sponsoring the fundraising gala and for their generous contributions to the organization. “FundaHigado is an organization that is truly near and dear to my heart, and I could not be prouder than to be here with all of you tonight to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity,” said Torrealba at the event.

While Miami’s top celebrities enjoyed a four-course dinner prepared by chef Michael Calvo, Kelly Blanco helped to raise over $100 thousand in funds for FundaHigado America. The items that were auctioned at the event were donated for the cause.

With Puerto Rico still in crisis and in need of help, members of the Sarasota community are banding together to help raise funds, take donations, and gather food and supplies for those still desperately in need.

The various support groups are hosting an event October 11^th from 7pm-10pm at the Payne Park Auditorium, 2100 E. Laurel Street in Sarasota. The event will feature live music from Uni2, Gio Rodriguez, Voices Libres, and more—for a small entry fee of only $10. The event is supported by SRQ Florida Helps Puerto Rico, a group of physicians and teachers in the area, as well as the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce of Florida, Daniel Matusiak, DK Dance Creations, and the musicians donating their time to the cause.

While the proceeds from the door to the event will go to helping Puerto Rico, the people in danger are still in need of supplies, which attendees are encouraged to bring. Mosquito Repellent, lighters, solar flashlights, hammocks, air mattresses, cookware and utensils, can openers, toiletries, and fruit and vegetable seeds are all in high demand.
