On Saturday, May 9, 2020 at 6 p.m. Branches will celebrate its 17th Annual Black Tie & Blue Jeans Benefit Dinner and Auction at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami. More than 500 guests are expected to attend and help raise resources for Branches’ programs which provide services and life-changing opportunities to help working families and their children break the cycle of generational poverty.

Trish and Dan Bell will serve as the Philanthropic Chairs and Victoria and Jason Randolph will serve as the Gala Chairs. The night will kick off with a cocktail reception and a silent auction, followed by an inspiring program led by Master of Ceemonies Ron Magill. Next is dinner and dancing to the Chase Band, as well as an appeal and an exciting live auction led by Auctioneer and Board Member Scott Howard. The event will also honor an outstanding individual with the Trish and Dan Bell Community Empowerment Award for their dedicated support of our South Florida community. All proceeds from the appeal of that evening will support Branches’ Summer Shade Camp and all donations will be doubled thanks to a generous $1 for $1 Matching Grant provided by Trish and Dan Bell.

Tickets are $300 per person and Tables start at $3,000. More details and sponsorship opportunities can be found here: branchesfl.org/benefitdinner/.
