At Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s 4th Annual “Claws for Kids” fundraising brunch on Sunday, May 3 at Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach, guests will be able to enjoy delicious stone crabs and other signature Joe’s cuisine without the wait. The event will kick off with a cocktail reception at 11:30 a.m., followed by brunch at 12:30 p.m. All event proceeds will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s newly renovated South Beach location.

THE COLLECTION, a long-standing supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade, including sponsorship of the annual Golf Classic since 2011, will be receiving the “From the Heart Award.” The award honors a person, family or organization that has shown overwhelming support and constant dedication to the children of the community and beyond. Ken Gorin, president & CEO of THE COLLECTION is scheduled to accept the award.

Joe’s will open up its restaurant for brunch on May 3 only for supporters of Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s “Claws for Kids.”

Menu items will include stone crabs, coleslaw, hash brown potatoes, creamed spinach and Key Lime pie. For those who don’t eat stone crabs, main course options will be available.

Frank Sinatra impersonator Jeff Grainger of Sinatra Sounds Entertainment will provide entertainment.

This year’s event is being co-chaired by Judy Kramer, a retired Miami-Dade County Public Schools executive, and Ruth Jimenez, vice president of Coconut Grove Bank and Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade board member. Kramer has chaired the event two prior times in the event’s four-year history.

“We are happy to present ‘Claws for Kids’ for the fourth consecutive year,” said Kramer. “The funds raised from this event will play a huge part in the future of the South Beach location, which will soon be a wonderful place for area youth to enjoy Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s life-changing programs.”
In addition to Kramer and Jimenez, “Claws for Kids” committee members include Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade Board of Directors members Jessica Goldberg and Willie Ho, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade former Board President Olga Guilarte, Connie Rebozo, Gian Traina, Lisa Kramer, Lisa Mendelson, Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade Executive Board Member Mark Walker, M.D., Melissa Levitt, Rae Stein and Susan Geiger.
