More than 400 of Miami’s young philanthropists and celebrities supported the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® during the sixth annual “It’s All About The Kids” signature event at the JW Marriott Marquis. The event raised more than $175,000 for St. Jude, the global leader in the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. The cirque-chic themed benefit was hosted by television personalities Pamela Silva Conde, anchor of Univision Network’s afternoon news-magazine Primer Impacto, and Pedro Andrade from Fusion TV.

During the event, Silvia Trinidad, from International Dermatology Research, Inc., was recognized with the 4th award for her life-long commitment to St. Jude. The award is named after local St. Jude patient Stephan Gutierrez, who was on hand to present it to Mrs. Silvia Trinidad.
