Gian Luis Bacardi, heir to the Bacardi global spirits and beverage conglomerate, will celebrate his engagement to fiancé, Kazandra Vega, on the evening of January 12, 2013 at the newly-opened Safi Restaurant in downtown Miami.
Along with commemorating the love story of the young couple, the evening will served as an occasion to honor the charitable work of eight distinguished South Florida women and support Food for the Poor, an applauded non-profit that Gian’s mother, Kimberly Bacardi, has championed for many years. In lieu of gifts, Gian and Kazandra have decided to use the occasion of an engagement party to raise money for Food for the Poor’s continued efforts to help those in dire need in Haiti.
The eight female honorees are all women who have made exceptional efforts to support Food for the Poor, Kim’s Good Karma Group (a group of like-minded charitable people and companies started by Kimberly Bacardi), as well as their own personal philanthropic passions. They include:
Noel Brown (Medallion Occasions Party Invitations & Décor)
Suzanne Delawar (Winston Delawar Photography)
Kimberlee Etheridge (Haute In the City Events)
Maria Elena Holguin (Holguin Interiors & Design International)
Diana Laura (Actress and Model)
