Al and Nancy Malnik Host Annual Garden Party
Yearly event benefits Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida

Al and Nancy Malnik, Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida Lifetime Benefactors, hosted their annual Garden Party at their Ocean Ridge estate. The occasion welcomed more than 200 supporters kicking off the highly anticipated 22nd anniversary of the InterContinental® Miami Make-A-Wish® Ball, to take place Saturday, November 12, 2016. Shareef Malnik, Gala Chairman and proprietor of The Forge Restaurant | Wine Bar, announced this year’s theme will be La Nuit de l’Animal (Night of the Animal), promising their largest gala to-date. Shareef also announced the reprise of ball celebrity emcee and documentary filmmaker Gabrielle Anwar as well as the attendance of Grammy award-winning entertainer Mariah Carey. The elegant garden party featured delicious bites, refreshing summer cocktails and cello players provided by Sincronia USA. The afternoon concluded with an endearing speech by Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida wish recipient’s father Craig Kuperman, whose daughter, 15-year old Lauren Kuperman, had her wish to go to Paris, France, sponsored by Andrew Sasson and Chris Paciello.
