Miami Beach Nightclubs Unite to
Support United Way

Miami Beach’s most elite nightclubs are joining forces to raise money for United Way of Miami-Dade. Real estate developer and hospitality entrepreneur Michael Capponi is spearheading the four-night event, “A Toast to United Way” - all to improve the lives of those less fortunate.

On December 26, 27, 28 and 29, nightclub enthusiasts will be able to purchase special $10 drink tickets at nearly a dozen popular South Beach nightspots. Special bottles of Veuve Clicquot will also be available for purchase. All of the proceeds from the sales of the tickets and bottles will go to the community through the work of United Way of Miami-Dade. The champagne is being provided by Southern Wine & Spirits.

“People need to wake up and realize there are a lot of needs in this community and it’s up to all of us to do something about it,” Capponi said. “I am just one person, which is why I am calling on everyone, including club owners and patrons, to step up and do their part - and at the same time, have fun.” Prive, Opium Garden, Mansion, SET, Suite, Snatch, Cameo, Delano, Glass at the Forge, Rokbar, Mynt, Mokai, Sagamore and China Grill have already signed up to participate on varying nights.
Capponi hopes the event will be just the beginning of a wonderful tradition of giving in South Beach. For more information on the event, please contact Capponi at mc@michaelcapponi.com or call 305-695-4410.
