Happy Holidays from Michail Capponi:

From the bottom of my heart I wanted to wish all of you very happy holidays.

As most of you will recall, last year around the holidays, we launched an annual event called “A Toast to United Way” to raise much needed funds for our community. Last year’s inaugural event festivities extended over four-days, with celebrations at more than a dozen elite venues on South Beach including Cameo, China Grill, Florida Room, The Forge, Glass, Mansion, Mokai, Mynt, Opium Garden, Prive, Rokbar, Sagamore Hotel, SET, Snatch and Suite.

I am once again chairing this event for United Way. This year, film director Michael Bay was gracious enough to open up his beautiful home, the former Hogan estate renovated by Capponi Group, for our 2nd Annual “A Toast to United Way”. The director of such blockbusters as Transformers, Pearl Harbor, and Bad Boys, Bay is serving as the host for the evening.

The invitation-only event will be held at 8 pm, on Saturday, December 27, 2008 at Bay’s Miami Beach home. Tickets are $250 per person. VIP tickets, which will allow guests to join Bay and his celebrity guests on a private rooftop lounge, are available for $500 per person. Fine cuisine is graciously catered by The Forge and top shelf drinks generously provided by Diageo. Following the reception, all guests will be invited to an after-party. Proceeds go to support the work of United
Way of Miami-Dade.

As the event chair I am urging you all to come support the United Way and its great causes to help fund over 70 different charities in our Miami-Dade county areas.

Please call Maria Zuniga at 305 646 7020 or email to zuniga@unitedwaymiami.org for tickets.

Thank you, I’m looking forward to see you on the 27th.
