United Hearts of America is under the direction of Neo-Pop Artist Ed King. The project seeks to raise $10,000 to deliver flags that have been painted by the community, as well as recorded messages in support of education initiatives to Washington, D.C. during Education Week in November 2011. Over 2,000 citizens, celebrities, and elected officials including Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado, Miami Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, and FIU football coach Mario Cristobal, have participated in painting flags filled with Hearts, since the project’s inception in April 2011.

Following the fundraiser, guests are invited to stay on at The Betsy Hotel for Live Music Thursdays in the hotel’s lively Lobby Bar. In celebration of Bastille Day, BLT Steak will be offering specially priced menu items honoring the French.
