The Greater Miami & The Keys Chapter of the American Red Cross honored Ryder System, Inc. at its 39th Annual American Red Cross Ball and 4th Annual Party in Red at the JW Marriott Marquis in downtown Miami.

Ryder System, Inc., a leading logistics and transportation company, was presented with the Corporate Humanitarian Award for its decades of compassionate and generous support in the face of disasters.

At the event, Ball Chairs Adriana Verdeja-Arango and her husband, Ignacio Arango, Esq. celebrated the lifesaving services provided by the Red Cross to South Florida residents. More than 300 guests were in attendance, sporting their finest red formal attire. Through the generosity of sponsors and attendees, the evening raised significant funds to benefit Red Cross preparedness, response and recovery programs and services.

The Ball kicked off with a cocktail reception in the pre-function space of the Metropolitan Ballroom, where over 50 silent auction items were available for bidding, including a luxury cruise generously donated by The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection. Part of the program consisted of a tribute to the Corporate Humanitarian Award honoree, followed by dinner and dancing to live music.

After the Ball, the 4th Annual Party in Red brought Miami’s young professionals together for the official afterparty to continue the celebration at one of South Florida’s most prestigious social fundraising events. The 4th Annual Party in Red was chaired by Eric Milton, David Ferreira and Tannaz Nekoi, MD.
