(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Playing for Change Foundation has partnered with Tiffany & Co. to host an intimate dinner and musical celebration on the evening of Thursday, November 14th. The exclusive event took place at a private residence, hosted by Founder of PFCF and Board Chair Whitney Kroenke Silverstein and her mother Ann Kroenke. This special night was the kick-off for the notable 2025 Impact Awards on March 15, 2025.
The magical evening included a dinner under the stars and performances by three awe-inspiring female musicians that showcase the trajectory and value PFCF is bringing through their community-tailored efforts to make an impact through music. Performers included Micaela, a participant in PFCF's and DJ Khaled's We The Best Foundation's 2-week summer program; Valentina, a student from Young Musician's Unite; and Yoli Mayor, a renowned Cuban American singer who previously performed at the 2019 gala in honor of Pharrell Williams and is frequently referred to as“Cuban Adele” for her powerful voice and soulful music.
Gathered together in support of the powerful work taking place around the world, the guest list included power players in the local community and beyond. Notable attendees included Ann Kroenke, Whitney Kroenke Silverstein, Nick Silverstein, Chris Riley, Lisa and Drew Rosenhaus, Bob Bryan, Casey and Timolin Cole, Josh Taekman, Jerry Wonda, and many more.
"Partnering with Tiffany & Co. for this evening was not only a celebration of music but a testament to the shared values that both our organizations hold dear-empowering young voices and inspiring communities to create positive change. Through music, we've seen the incredible impact that can be made, from Miami to Uganda and in places around the world,” said Whitney.“Thursday's gathering under the stars reminds us of the power of unity and purpose. We're thrilled to continue this journey as we look ahead to our 2025 Impact Awards and beyond."
The symbolic partnership between PFCF and Tiffany & Co. speaks volumes on the important work they stand behind not only in the local Miami community, but globally as well. In Miami alone, PFCF in partnership with Young Musicians Unite and Overtown Youth Center, helps to serve 9,000 children weekly, inspiring social change through different music education programs.
Leading up to the upcoming Impact Awards, Playing for Change Foundation has been doing miraculous work, most recently building a cultural art center and establishing The Salam Music Program at the Bidibidi Refugee Settlement in Uganda. There's no sign of slowing down as award season quickly approaches, and the energy of this was fervently felt throughout the vibrant, close-knit evening.
