Known for being “the” event to attend in order to rub elbows with the who’s who of the industry, The SEARCH Foundation’s Signature Event was the place to be earlier this summer in Miami.

The SEARCH Foundation hosted its Annual Signature Event, dubbed Late Nite Chill, in the heart of the Miami Design District at the uber chic Paradise Plaza, where all of the movers and shakers of the indusry came together to experience an immersive event that highlights the chic vibe and diverse culture of Miami, while raising funds for individuals in crisis. Not only did this year’s event bring the industry together for an evening of camraderie, but it also brought in a whopping $70,000 in charitable donations this year. 

For those who may not be familiar, SEARCH is an acronym for Special Events Assistance, Relief & Crisis Help. We are a 501c3 which directly funds individuals in catering, meetings, hospitality and live events that are faced with a catastrophic illness or loss. When someone hears the dreaded words “it’s cancer,” or has been in an accident, loses their home in a flood or wildfire…SEARCH is there to help. SEARCH was started by industry pros for industry pros and to date we have funded 100% of qualified cases.
