JW Marriott Marquis Miami

Every year in the fall, His House Children’s Home hosts its annual signature event, the Imagine Gala. This enchanting evening takes place at the beautiful JW Marriott Marquis Miami drawing nearly 500 of the most influential, philanthropic and notable community leaders in South Florida.

In 2019, His House Children’s Home (HHCH) sponsored by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., Finker-Frenkel Legacy Foundation, and Honorary Hosts Jay and Jessica Leyva, celebrated its 30 year anniversary Imagine Gala at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami. The annual fundraising event featured the future of His House and its new forever home, scheduled for fall 2023.

The evening commenced with guests experiencing a virtual tour of His House cottages, followed by an opportunity to participate in a silent auction, which offered spectacular packages donated by faithful supporters and created to raise additional funds for the children. Items included vacation getaways, art pieces, fine jewelry, and autographed sports memorabilia.

The excitement continued with an invocation by Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban L. Bovo, followed by a live auction and an unforgettable performance titled “This is Me” by The New World Connection. The celebration continued throughout the evening as guests danced the night away with live entertainment.

Additional sponsors of the event included Bacardi, Patricia Cabrera, ABTS Convention, Astor Companies, Citrus Health Network, Discovery Communications, JGA, SeaLand, Star bakery, Support 305, and TD Bank.

The 2021 Imagine Gala is scheduled for September 25, 2021 at the beautiful JW Marriott Marquis Miami.
