"Heineken with a Heart" Charity Event Kicks Off
Enjoy Appetizers & Beer For A Good Cause
DORAL (CBS4) ―
For the second year in a row, South Florida residents are teaming up with Miami-area sports and entertainment stars, community leaders and Heineken USA to benefit a local charity.
At the "Heineken with a Heart" event, co-hosted by Neighbors 4 Neighbors and Heineken USA, local residents will be encouraged to donate financial support to the Miami community. It's especially necessary this year, when tough economic times are forcing many families to turn to others for help.
The event takes place at Chevy's, located at 8191 NW 12th Street in Doral, from 6:30 to 9:30 Tuesday evening.
"Neighbors 4 Neighbors is a special charity that touches the lives of so many people each year, something that makes me proud to be a board member of this worthwhile organization," said Julie Carbon, Florida Zone Director, Heineken USA. "What makes tonight's Heineken with a Heart event so special is that it allows so many groups to come together in support of a worthy cause and make a true difference in South Florida, one of Heineken USA's most important corporate hometowns."
"Events like tonight's Heineken with a Heart fundraiser make such an impact on our mission and, in turn, the local community," said Lynne Cameron, founder, Neighbors 4 Neighbors. "Not only do attendees we have an opportunity to have fun with their friends, they have a chance to make a real difference where they live. In fact, the visibility of this event – and Julie's involvement on the board – has helped reenergize the organization and empower us to continue to make a difference for families across South Florida."
As a leading alcohol beverage company, Heineken USA also proactively works to encourage the responsible consumption of its products. To deliver on this commitment, Heineken USA is implementing its SAFE CALL program at tonight's and every Heineken with a Heart event to provide complimentary cab rides to the evening's patrons to ensure they travel home responsibly and safely.
