This year’s event having taken place at the stylish and chic Serafina restaurant in Downtown Miami, the Hats Off Luncheon is a fundraiser for Camp Honey Shine. Attendees and supporters don their most elegant attire and statement hats for a charitable gathering filled with passion, purpose, and lasting impact.
Funds raised enable 150 girls to attend the all-inclusive, six-week summer immersion camp. Funds are used to provide meals, books, supplies, t-shirts, swimsuits, character development workshops, college-prep classes, digital literacy, physical fitness, nutrition and therapy sessions. The “Honey Bugs” also receive lessons in swimming, music, dance and robotics.
