Three hundred guests joined Kristi House and friends for the 15th Anniversary Touch a Heart Dinner & Auction at Four Seasons Miami to help child-victims of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation.
The signature event was chaired by Maria Maloof and Katie Lane-Arriola, with Emma Afra and Kara Zeder as Auction and Wine Chairs. Eliza & Hugh Culverhouse were Challenge Grant sponsors, with Buddha Mama Jewelry and Badia Spices as Platinum sponsors. Swanee & Paul DiMare and Frank Fawzi were Gold Heart sponsors.
