6th Annual “Claws for Kids” Brunch at Joe’s Stone Crab
Nearly $140,000 raised for Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade
Nearly 450 people brunched at the century-old South Beach institution Joe’s Stone Crab on Sunday, May 7th for the 6th Annual “Claws for Kids” fundraising brunch that raised close to $140,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade.
Joe’s iconic staff served up signature dishes to the guests, including their world-famous stone crabs, plus house made coleslaw, hash brown potatoes, creamed spinach, Key Lime pie, and bottomless bubbles.
As guests craåked their claws, Frank Sinatra impersonator Jeff Grainger with Sinatra Sounds Entertainment provided the entertainment. Old Blue Eyes would have been proud.
Judy Kramer, who has chaired the event five times in its six-year history, chaired the event again this year. Kramer is a retired Miami-Dade County Public Schools executive.
