THE COLLECTION Porsche a Proud Sponsor of Doctors Hospital 3rd Annual Fundraising Ball
Miami (PRWEB) May 23, 2014 -- THE COLLECTION Porsche was proud to be a sponsor of the Doctors Hospital Whimsical Wonderland Ball, the grand finale to South Florida's gala season, on May 17 at the Arena at FIU. Throughout the evening, over 700 guests spiraled down the rabbit hole while enjoying awe-inspiring interactive entertainment in benefit of the hospital’s OR Renovation Project. The event raised over $700,000 for the hospital.
“We were thrilled to be a part of this wonderful evening raising money for a great cause,” said Ken Gorin, President and CEO of THE COLLECTION. “It was truly a magical event. I never would have thought that I would see a Macan covered in colorful mushrooms!”
THE COLLECTION Porsche had a premier table and display sponsorship. The ten person table included THE COLLECTION executives, Porsche Associates, and top Porsche clients. Six Porsches were displayed outside the entrance to the venue, including two Macans and a Panamera S E-Hybrid with plug-in station.
THE COLLECTION also underwrote the “Mushroom Bar Lounge” as a corporate underwriting photo opportunity. The lounge had a garden feel, with grass-textured sofas, complete with THE COLLECTION and Porsche branded pillows, allowing guests to have a moment of peace away from the madness. The photo opportunity featured a Macan wrapped in a psychedelic, mushroom print. A caterpillar dancer slinked around the vehicle, posing with guests for a picture-perfect moment. Guests took home pictures from the on-site professional photographer in their branded THE COLLECTION Porsche photo holders.
Guests danced to the sound of the Drew T Band and were enthralled by an electronic art performance of Mobius 8, stilt walkers, an interactive food wall and interactions with Alice in Wonderland characters, including the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, and a Cheshire Cat aerialist.
THE COLLECTION provided 300 Macan LED bracelets for VIP auction participants. The live auction featured six hand-selected luxury experiences. THE COLLECTION donated a Porsche High-Performance Sport Driving Experience with first-class airfare, a complimentary weekend loaner on a Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid as an add-on to a dining experience and resort package, and a Porsche pedal car. A Porsche pedal car was also donated to the silent auction. Program inserts specific to THE COLLECTION Porsche were printed and placed in all programs to encourage bidders on the Driving Experience.
The renovated OR will allow Doctors Hospital to continue providing high-quality compassionate care while meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the community.
