Beginners can “ease into exercise” with friends and gain inspiration and motivation to continue walking and running to improve overall health, while competitive runners have the opportunity to shine amongst their co-workers and lead the corporate team to victory. As part of the tri-county race circuit, a portion of the proceeds from the Miami run will benefit United Way.

Get Ready as Dragons Invade Virginia Key

Miami Dragon Boat Festival

Dragons will once again invade the City of Miami’s waters as the Miami International Dragon Boat Festival returns to the Miami Rowing Club on Virginia Key. This event is a great opportunity for groups to come together and participate in a fun-filled day of competitive racing.

Often dubbed as a “canoe on steroids”, dragon boats are 42’ in length and don a traditional dragon head and tail. Dating back more than 2,000 years, this ancient Chinese pastime has captured the attention of the competitive sporting world, making it the second fastest growing water sport.

The festival is currently seeking participants! No experience or gear necessary- just grab twenty (20) friends or coworkers, a paddle and go!

Teams for the Miami International Dragon Boat Festival can be formed by companies, bringing employees together for a day of fun competition and team building. Other teams can come from educational institutions, civic and community organizations, gyms, families and friends etc. This event is open to participants of all sizes and abilities, ages 13 and up. Prior experience is not necessary, practice sessions and equipment will be provided to registered teams. Dragon boat racing supports camaraderie, fitness, competition and a lesson on the ultimate goal of reaching the finish line together!

Attendance to the event is free and open to the public. Registration fees vary based on team category.

Don’t miss out on this cultural experience and a day of fun!

Introducing a Grown Up Field Day for South Floridians- The Great Office Escape 3/7/15

I am writing to introduce you to The Great Office Escape (TheGOE) “a grownup field day” for South Floridians to play, explore and discover ways to live healthier, feel better; and win prizes while they do it. The Great Office Escape is a wellness day that encourages teams, individuals and kids alike ranging from co-workers, colleagues, friends and family members to put down their phones and enjoy a pressure-free day – all with one shared goal – to discover the fun of feeling good. TheGOE aims to provide participants with a way to unplug from the workplace and provides tools to foster healthy habits – both at work and home. Unlike traditional corporate events, The Great Office Escape focuses on positivity as opposed to competition. The objective is to take small, achievable steps, and celebrate ones’ accomplishments; whether big or small.

Taking place on March 7th at Haulover Beach, in Bay Harbor, The Great Office Escape is open to office teams, neighborhood teams and club teams as well as individuals and kids, the combinations are endless! To become a “citizen” (as a team ) of The Great Office Escape, (www.goe.com), all that is required is an enthusiastic group of 10 people over the age of 18 with at least two females prepared for fun with a healthy dose of side effects! There is even a KID’S ZONE; after all, living healthier is a family affair.

Anything but ordinary, contests at TheGOE include CEO Dunk Tank, Tricycle Races, Nerf Dodgeball, Hula Hoop, Wacky Obstacle Course, Social Media Challenges and Sandcastle Building. Teams receive official “Passports to Feelgoodsville” and can earn stamps by participating in games, contests and our Interactive Expo Booths. Teams that turn in a completed passport qualify to win prizes including restaurant gift certificates, massages and more.

The Great Office Escape concept was born to promote Health and Wellness in the workplace and to welcome, encourage and motivate those who are often times intimated by traditional fitness. Although it’s hard to admit, wellness competitions, like 5k’s and fitness challenges are intimidating to most people. Even so, The Great Office Escape offers alternative ways to wellness to those already involved in a healthy lifestyle. Knowing that cost of healthcare and insurance is on the rise and employees and employers are all feeling the impact; one of the most effective ways to help keep a lid on those costs is through wellness initiatives. Healthy employees get sick less often, lessening the cost burden on themselves and on their employers. Healthy individuals are proven to be more productive, have decreased absenteeism and improved morale.

The Great Office Escape 2015 is taking place on March 7th at Haulover Beach Miami, FL and early registration costs are just $50 per person. The rate goes to $57 per person on January 31, 2015. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Past sponsors include Humana, Bacardi, KIND Healthy Snacks, Viva Coco and Tropical Credit Union.

Ever wanted the opportunity to play football in Europe? Well on December 6th, Rise Above Training, former Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Chris Chambers and the 2014 New Yorker Lions bring you the first ever Annual European Football Tryouts and your chance to grab the opportunity you’ve always wanted.

This camp is for men looking for their chance to play football overseas and develop themselves as both individuals and players. EF Tryouts will test players in a combine setting while simultaneously helping them develop their game by teaming up with former NFL Pro Chris Chambers and his staff of quality coaches.

European Football rules allow 2 American passport players also known as import players on the field each play, yet teams can have an unlimited amount of import players on their roster. In order to fill the roster with the best available import players, teams are trying to connect to coaches and former players in the US but have found it to be difficult. With little available knowledge being made about players who are brought in from abroad and being overseas, the ability to be linked to quality players is not always easy. EF Tryouts aim to build the bridge that will connect US players to European coaches because they believe that every player deserves an opportunity to reach their goals and achieve the dream at playing football at the highest level possible.

Testing will consist of Combine Drills, which includes 40 yard dash, 15 yard Shuttle Run, Broad Jump, Vertical Jump and Med Ball Toss, alongside Strength Drills, Individual Drills, 1 on 1’s and 7 on 7’s. Participants will be able to showcase their skills while scouts from The New Yorker Lions, Oldenburg Knights, Falcons Cologne, Galaxy Frankfurt and Helsinki Roosters look for fresh talent to add to their growing teams.

As part of the camp, all sessions during the try out will be filmed and players will be able to send in their tapes to qualify for the “Hotlist” which will be forwarded to all teams in Europe. Those who make the list will be given assistance in actively promoting their skills to all European teams to help them achieve the next step.

Pre-registration at http://www.eftryouts.com is only $50, while walk-ins will be $60.

Cost: Free

Fixed-gear riders from across the South will take their talent to the track in a test of mental stamina, technical precision and raw strength at Red Bull Mini Drome in Miami on November 8. From its original debut in New Zealand and its roots across the pond, Red Bull Mini Drome will come back for another lap in the states with a stop at Mana Wynwood—a prominent hub for innovation in the Wynwood Arts District.

For starters, a fixed-gear (more affectionately known as a fixie) is a bicycle in its purest, simplest form– no gears and sometimes no brakes. Often considered the ultimate marriage between man and machine, a sub-twenty-pound piece of machinery is the only thing separating your body from the hard, unforgiving ground below.

At Red Bull Mini Drome, skill, speed, balance, and braves are brought together on this steep, shrunken down version of the traditional velodrome. With track speeds exceeding 30mph and course measurements of 46 ft. x 24 ft. and 8 ft. high at the end banking, it is sure to be one of the most challenging and treacherous thrill rides to hit the fixed-gear scene. Competitors will need to pedal hard and watch the ledge if they want to take home the winning title.

The La Martina South Beach Women’s Polo Cup VI takes place on Thursday, April 24th, featuring eight women’s teams in a one-day series of round-robin championship matches. Last year’s winning team will not be back to defend their title as 2013 champions, leaving the door open for a number of top-rated challengers that include Maggie McNamara, Tara Lordi, Cristina Hosmer, Laura Willson and Tannis Marley’s entry from Kentucky that includes Cary Campbell and Posey Obrecht , among others.

“This year’s La Martina Miami Beach Polo World Cup is our most prestigious to-date,” says Bruce Orosz, president and co-founder of The Polo Life. “2014 is the culmination of an entire decade of bringing the nation’s first ever professional Beach Polo tournament to South Florida. Thanks to the City of Miami Beach and everyone involved, we have made Miami Beach Polo World Cup one of the most popular annual events on region’s social and sporting calendars. The competition has also become a highly sought after exhibition event by some of today’s top Polo players from around the world. We are also one step closer to announcing our international expansion of The Polo Life in to a far eastern territory, which we are very excited to reveal. We thank all of our patrons, sponsors and supporters with helping to make the last ten year’s such a success.”

The traditional post-event awards ceremony will be held at the end of each tournament to commemorate both women’s and men’s competition winners, during which sponsor representatives will present trophies to the men’s and women’s World Cup finalists. Invited attendees at this year’s La Martina Miami Beach Polo World Cup will once again experience the annual series of nightly VIP events that form an essential part of the four-day festivities. The annual fashion show by La Martina in the VIP tent on Saturday afternoon will be one highlight of the weekend in-between the grueling match play, in addition to a Sunday Morning “Brunch on the Beach” by celebrity chef, Michelle Bernstein, also in the VIP tent.

“We are delighted to announce our continued support of this year’s Miami Beach Polo World Cup event as Title Sponsor and official supplier,” says Mr. Adrian Simonetti, President and CEO of La Martina America. “For us, Polo is a passion, a lifestyle choice and an historic sport with a unique culture.

World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship announces Carolina Herrera Fashion Show Hosted by Ivanka Trump, live concert performance by Gym Class Heroes’ front man and solo star Travie McCoy.

World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship officials announced today new fan  enhancements to the 2014 tournament that will include a Carolina Herrera fashion show hosted by Ivanka Trump and a live concert performance by Gym Class Heroes’ front man and solo star, Travie McCoy.  Building on the momentum of the 2013 tournament that included its first-ever fashion show and concert, the 2014 Cadillac Championship, taking place March 5-9 at Trump National Doral in Miami, promises to deliver a heightened level of fan engagement that merges the worlds of golf, fashion, music and entertainment to create one of South Florida’s premiere social events.
 
This year’s Cadillac Championship will be highlighted by a March 7 runway presentation of the Carolina Herrera Spring 2014 collection, hosted by Ivanka Trump. Following the completion of the tournament’s second round, tournament ticketholders will be invited to move to the outdoor Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster Village venue, adjacent to the first tee and the Cadillac Performance center, for the fashion show.
 
On Saturday, March 8, Travie McCoy will headline a concert, also set to take place at the Blue Monster Village, following the completion of the tournament’s third round. As a solo artist, McCoy caused a multi-format commotion with his debut album, LAZARUS, and its lead single – the twice RIAA platinum, top five smash hit, Billionaire (featuring Bruno Mars) -  selling more than 3.4 million copies to date and recording nearly 150 million official YouTube views. Most recently, McCoy released Rough Water (featuring Jason Mraz), the first single from his new solo album scheduled for release this summer. McCoy’s success follows that of Gym Class Heroes, the band that rocketed to global stardom in 2007 with the #1 hit, Cupid’s Chokehold/Breakfast In America, and whose most recent album – 2011’s The Papercut Chronicles II – scored a trio of chart topping singles including the #1 multiplatinum smash Stereo Hearts (featuring Adam Levine).
 
“I’m so excited to be teaming up with the PGA TOUR for the festivities at this year’s Cadillac Championship,” said McCoy.  “Miami definitely knows how to get down.  This will be a party you don’t want to miss!”
 
Access to both the Carolina Herrera fashion show and Travie McCoy concert is complimentary to all Friday and Saturday tournament ticket holders, respectively, with additional VIP opportunities available for purchase.
 
“We are thrilled to partner with Carolina Herrera for ‘Fashion Friday,’ as the brand of elegance, sophistication and modern glamour align perfectly with the new direction of the Cadillac Championship,” said Cadillac Championship General Chairman Butch Buchholz. “The decision to be the showcase of our day of fashion programming is proof that this tournament is quickly transforming from ‘just a golf tournament’ into a must-attend social and entertainment event in South Florida.”
 
The fashion show will anchor the tournament’s larger Fashion Friday programming that will include fan contests, social media engagement and additional appearances by Ivanka Trump as well as the reigning Miss Universe, Gabriela Isler, and select cast members from Bravo’s Real Housewives series. Additionally, before and after the fashion show, fans will be entertained with music by DJ Irie of the Miami Heat.
 
In addition to the fashion show and concert, the Cadillac Championship will make additional improvements to the tournament that are centered around an elevated culinary and hospitality experience, including the one-of-a-kind Escalade Lounge on the 16th hole, social media specials for fans who follow the tournament’s Twitter and Facebook accounts, and much more.
 
“This year’s Cadillac Championship is going to be bigger and better than ever,” Buchholz said. “Fans aren’t only going to see a transformed Trump National Doral resort and Blue Monster Course, but also a transformed Cadillac Championship.”

3rd Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament 10/25/13

3rd Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament
golfOctober 25
Loews Miami Beach Hotel
1601 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Entry into the tournament is $4,000 per foursome, which covers green fees for three players and one celebrity, premium gift bags, commemorative photo, breakfast, lunch and more.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel will host its 3rd Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament, benefiting DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that connects donors to Miami Dade County classrooms in need. Additionally, the tournament benefits The Foundation for New Education Initiatives, a Miami-Dade County School Board program created to enhance student achievement and community engagement. The tournament has received celebrity and influencer endorsements from the likes of Alonzo Mourning, Ken Griffey, Jr., Jay Harris, Jason Taylor, Bucky Dent and Mark Duper and many more throughout the years.

“Our annual celebrity golf tournament raises significant amounts of dollars that go directly to many desperately needed educational programs in our county through Donorschoose.org and The Foundation for New Education Initiatives,” said Alex Tonarelli, Managing Director, Loews Miami Beach Hotel.

Public school teachers spent $1.6 billion of their own money on classroom supplies and gear in the 2012-2013 school year, according to a report released in June 2013 by the National School Supply and Equipment Association (NSSEA), a trade association for educational product companies.

“We hope to exceed our contributions this year, which funds as many Miami Dade County educational projects as possible, and relieves the burden from our educators who spend thousands out of pocket on school supplies and instructional materials,” added Tonarelli.

In 2010, Loews Hotels celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Good Neighbor program by partnering with DonorsChoose.org in an effort to improve public education. Over the three years, Loews’ team members have raised funds by organizing car washes, bake sales, golf tournaments and making individual donations to support education in their local communities. The culmination of year round fundraising for Loews Miami Beach is the group-based 18-hole, scramble format tournament, held at the Miami Beach Golf Club. Since 2010, the tournament has raised nearly $150,000 in resources for classrooms and students across Miami Dade County.

“We are thrilled to participate, for the second year, in the Loews Miami Beach Celebrity Golf Tournament,” said Alberto M. Carvalho, Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and the Chair for The Foundation for New Education Initiatives. “It is through philanthropic donors, like the Loews Miami Beach Hotel that we are able to give back to the local schools in our area and fund innovations beyond the basics that will keep our schools, our graduates, and our community competitive in the decades ahead.”

In this year’s golf tournament, celebrity Chef Josh Capon from NYC’s beloved Lure Fishbar, and three time NYC Burger Bash winner, whose celebrity frequented restaurant in SOHO opens in South Beach this fall, will serve a gourmet seafood feast for lunch alongside the resorts’ Executive Chef Frederic Delaire. Each foursome will feature a celebrity player, with special giveaways and a top-notch silent auction with a multitude of sought-after luxury items.

“The support we have received from Loews Hotels in helping teachers across the country acquire the materials and resources their students need in the classroom has been tremendous,” said Charles Best, CEO of DonorsChoose.org.

The first 500 participants to register will also receive premium glow gear.

Open to individuals, families, companies and businesses, prizes will be awarded to the top five male and female runners. The top finisher in each category will also have the chance to win a Breitling Watch.

“We’re so honored to be in the position to give back to the Miami community for the seventh year in a row,” said Peter Romero, senior property manager, Taylor & Mathis. “With strong partners, like the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation, the race continues to grow year after year. We’re looking forward to record registration this year.”

For the third year, the FedEx Waterford 5K will donate 100 percent of its proceeds and focus its efforts on providing additional funding for Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to create awareness and generate funds for Miami’s only licensed specialty hospital in South Florida exclusively for children, while ensuring that all children have access to state-of-the-art pediatric care. To date, the run/walk has raised more than $100,000 in support of local causes.

“We are incredibly grateful to FedEx, Taylor & Mathis and all of the participants that are making children’s health care a priority in our community,” said Lucy Morillo-Agnetti, President and CEO of Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation. “Last year, this event raised more than $30,000 for the Foundation, greatly benefiting the children and families that rely on Miami Children’s Hospital in their greatest time of need.”

Supporting sponsors for the 2013 FedEx Waterford 5K include FedEx, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Club Med, Breitling, Taylor & Mathis, TIAA-CREF, Hogan, MAPFRE Insurance, TW Telecom, Regus, OrthoNow, DRA Advisors, Club Med, TW Telecom, Breitling, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Taylor & Mathis, TIAA-CREF, ThyssenKrupp, Brickell Magazine, TeamFootWorks and more.

The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2002 by Ella Fontanals Cisneros and her family to foster cultural exchange among the visual arts. CIFO is dedicated to the support of emerging and mid-career contemporary multidisciplinary artists from Latin America, who are challenging the established boundaries that define much of contemporary art today.

Based in downtown Miami, Cannonball (formerly LegalArt) is a non-profit arts organization known for its advocacy and innovative programs supporting today’s artists. Core initiatives include: SeminArt, providing free educational and professional development services to artists; LegalLink, an in-house legal advice and referral service for artists and arts organizations; and the Residency Program, which offers long-term live/work space for local artists and short-term residencies for visiting cultural producers.

Photographs of the Pool Boy Pool Girl Competition at the Clevelander Marlins Stadium

This past weekend we had the privilege of attending an awesome competition that involved, twerking, swimsuits, beer pong, liquor and laughter otherwise referred to as just another day at The Clevelander at Marlins Park. We were asked to judge the Pool Boy and Pool Girl Competition and had an absolute blast. The Clevelander opened up a location at the Marlins Stadium, where fans can eat awesome food, drink, swim in the pool and get up close and personal with the sexy Marlin Energy Team. On any given day, you will experience in professional body painting, a kickass DJ and… oh ya,  a baseball game too. ;-)  The hopeful Pool Boys and Girls had to compete in aquatic baseball fetch, beer pong, interviews and a dance contest to win the crowns.  Allison and Corey pictured below in their victor robes earned the coveted titles. We loved this spot and will definitely be back to participate in more fun shenanigans.

MIAMI, FL The Color Mob 5K hits Miami on Saturday, July 27, 2013 and will transform a horde of runners and walkers into a living work of abstract art. Colored cornstarch will be hurled at entrants as they make their way through the course in this fun run, and there will be live music and a beer garden to greet 5K participants when they cross the finish line as newly minted color abstractions that would make Jackson Pollock proud.

In the Color Mob 5K, it’s suggested participants wear white to fully maximize the effect of passing through these vivid Technicolor clouds. Costumes are always welcomed too. The colored corn starch used to “paint” the 5K-ers may take more than one wash to get out of clothing, though, so it goes without saying that no one should show up wearing their Sunday best. Color Mob 5K is open to all ages, with children under age 2 getting in for free. Registration for this colorful event opens at 11am, with racers leaving the start in waves every 5 minutes between 12 and 2pm at Oleta River State Park. A full afternoon at the park followed by live music, a beer garden, and food makes for a fun and unique experience for families, groups, couples and individuals.

While strollers are certainly welcomed, pets will have to stay at home, no matter how adorable they would look covered in bright powder. And for the more serious racers, there’s no reason to bring your custom timing chips because the point of this 5K isn’t to set any personal bests (and it will not be timed); the point is to get blasted with clouds of color and come out the other side of the course looking like the exterior of a hippy bus. Registration is non-refundable but is transferable. So what are you waiting for? Get signed up and get colorful. For more information or to register visit http://www.colormob5k.com/miami.

“We believe that if we can save even one life, we have made a difference. We encourage you to join us as we SHOUT OUT the Silent Killer because one more victim to carbon monoxide poisoning is one victim too many,” said Anthony’s mother and non-profit founder Vilma Perez.
 
“Carbon monoxide is one of the deadliest of all poisons and kills hundreds of people in the United States each year.  This gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless, granting it the nickname of the Silent Killer,” added Perez.
 
Part of the event includes a Health and Wellness Fair with the presence of numerous causes and organizations.  There will be plenty of entertainment for the whole family, including music, food, raffles, give-a-ways, and face painting for the children.  The City of Sweetwater has donated off-duty police officers to help control traffic and will have its Breast Cancer Awareness and D’Amor Foundation for Autism police cars onsite.

In addition, because this event focuses on promoting safety and awareness, students in need of community service hours can receive those hours by attending.  Those students that are interested in volunteering to assist with the preparation and maintenance of the event may receive additional hours for their extended dedication and support.

Fifth Annual Reason to Run 5k Benefiting Pediatric Cancer Research 11/10/12

Fifth Annual "Reason to Run" 5k to Raise Funds for Pediatric Cancer Research
Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 8 a.m.
Deering Estate
16701 S.W. 72 Avenue
Miami, FL

On-site registration and check-in will begin at 7 a.m.  The registration fee is $25 for adults before November 2.  The fee increases to $30 thereafter.

To date, the event has raised more than $150,000 for pediatric cancer research.  Dr. Julio Barredo of the UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center received the first local award last year for a study entitled “Targeting Glycolysis and the AMPK Regulated Metabolic Networks in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).”  Last year, event organizers also raised enough to purchase the Bio-Plex 200.  The instrument allows for complex analyses of protein and nucleic acid vital to the research being conducted at UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The “Reason to Run” 5K run/walk is the brainchild of avid marathoners and training partners Linda Martinez and Lisette Zamora.  Both women have participated in and coached a number of fundraising events for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

“Finding cures for pediatric cancers took on a special meaning for my family five years ago when my 10-year-old nephew was diagnosed with a brain tumor,” said Linda Martinez, event organizer.  “Through the work of dedicated doctors and nurses, he is winning his fight.  But the fact remains that cancer is the number one disease killer of children, and the treatments currently available often negatively impact the quality of life for those who survive.  Events such as this one will help fund life-saving research while raising awareness that there is still much work to be done.”

After the run/walk, participants will be invited to enter the Deering property for a post-race event that will include a raffle, music, food, drinks, bounce-houses and other entertainment in the family area.

All participants will be automatically entered to win one of many prizes including a Miami Seaquarium dolphin swim for four, admission to other attractions, and a host of other prizes.  Those wishing to enter, but not run, can make a donation or purchase a raffle ticket for $5.

Sponsors for “Reason to Run” 5K run/walk include: Palmetto Ford, SeaView Research, HiTEX Marketing, SH Medical Corp., Dolphin Mall and Preferred Care Partners.  Several local schools and businesses have initiated fundraising campaigns as well, and cash donations have exceeded $15,000 to date.

CancerFree KIDS’ mission is to fund life-saving research of childhood cancers.  CFK supports research by raising funds in a myriad of ways and by actively advocating for additional funding of pediatric cancer research on a national level.  The non-profit 501(c)(3) organization was founded on the belief that research can lead to a cure, not only for children, but for everyone.  For additional information, visit www.cancerfreekids.org.

The highly anticipated competition is the first of its kind to launch in the U.S. and receives its inauguration in South Florida, featuring six of today’s top ranked ATP professionals, including an exclusive appearance by U.S. Open Champion and British Olympic Gold Medalist, Andy Murray, and French Open Champion Juan Carlos Ferrero, the former world number one player from Spain.  The tournament will also be a tribute to the iconic career of Florida resident, Andy Roddick, who will also be participating as part of his homecoming farewell tour. The “Super Six” clash of the titans will play in a double-elimination, round robin tournament format that will also feature ATP heavyweights Nicolás Almagro (ESP), Alejandro Falla (COL) and top ranked American, John Isner.   All matches played throughout the three-day tournament will take place on the stadium court at Crandon Park and will be broadcast LIVE by ESPN3.  More than 7,000 spectators are expected to attend each day.

The coveted stadium court at Crandon Park Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, Florida, home to the annual “Fifth Grand Slam,” will see a unique transformation from the traditional purple and green colors – a complete makeover that will be created especially for the Miami Tennis Cup.  Spectators will witness world-ranked players slugging it out on the first ever white stadium court, complete with red lines, painted within a blue area that will surround the court.  The first red, white and blue stadium court will be developed purposely for the three-day tournament, to commemorate the emblematic colors of our nation’s flag.
 
“We are pleased to announce the first annual Miami Tennis Cup, a premium and world class competition featuring today’s most exciting top-ranked players,” said Julian Wortelboer, President and CEO of Group NOS.  “We are honored to have not only some of the most iconic tennis professionals competing, but some of the most legendary individuals from the world of sport – including an Olympic Gold medal winner, a U.S. Open champion and a French Open champion.  With our introduction of the first ever stadium court in white, our signature colors will make the spectator experience unlike any other and establish Miami Tennis Cup as a must-see event each year on the world tennis calendar.”
The tournament will see all six players competing in a double-elimination tournament format within two round robin groups.  Each match will be the best of three sets.  The number one seed (Andy Murray) and number two seed (Andy Roddick) will receive an automatic bye in to the semi-final.  The remaining four players will be drawn against each other for a place in the semi-final, with the initial matches starting on stadium court at 7:00pm on Friday, November 30th.  The first semi-final match will commence on stadium court at 5:00pm on Saturday, December 1st.  The emerging winner from Sunday’s final will take the coveted title as the first ever champion of the Miami Tennis Cup, for which a cash prize and trophy will be presented on stadium court by a surprise celebrity legend from the world of tennis.

These alarming statistics show the importance and urgency of finding a cure and treatment for Alzheimer’s disease,” said Chief Executive Officer of the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter, Ellen Brown. “Many people are not aware that Hispanics are about one and one- half times as likely to have Alzheimer’s and other dementias as older whites. It’s time to take action and fight against Alzheimer’s. The time is now! Alzheimer’s can’t wait!”

Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a just a walk. Miami-Dade participants also will learn about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and services. Each walker will join in a meaningful ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Funds raised will provide care and support services to the residents of Southeast Florida living with Alzheimer’s, while also contributing to advancing critically-needed research.

In addition to the 5K walk; participants will enjoy family activities, music and much more. Start or join a team today at alz.org/walk. For more information, or call 800-272-3900.

Bella Beach, where Florida’s Riviera meets St. Tropez, offers the ideal oceanfront oasis for sipping premium champagne and dining alfresco on exquisite Mediterranean-styled bites. With the sea and sun captivating their senses, guests are invited to tan naturally while soaking up South Florida’s unparalleled sunshine. 
 
The Petanque teams who ‘trump’ the rest will be awarded with the following prizes:
·         1st place Grand Prize winner will receive a two-night stay at Trump International Beach Resort and a Veuve Clicquot amenity
·         2nd place winner will receive a spa treatment for two at the Resort’s award-winning Aquanox Spa and a gift from Veuve Clicquot
·         3rd place team will receive dinner for two at Bella Beach and a gift from Veuve Clicquot
 
Participants must register in teams of two and participation is free. To sign up for the tournament contact info@bellabeachclub.com or 305-673-3873. Bella Beach will also be hosting practice sessions at 2:30 p.m. each Sunday in August leading up to the tournament.
