NFL Hall of Famer and Miami Dolphins Great Dwight Stephenson and Gunther Automotive Group Hosted the Inaugural Norman Bonchick Memorial Golf Tournament Benefiting Broward Children’s Center on June 24.

July 15th, 2024

The Event Raised Over $70,000 for Infants, Children and Young Adults with Special Needs

NFL Hall of Famer and Miami Dolphins great Dwight Stephenson teamed up with Gunther Automotive Group to host the inaugural Norman Bonchick Memorial Golf Tournament to benefit Broward Children’s Center at The Club at Weston Hills on June 24.

132 golfers played in the tournament for fun or competitively while raising much-needed funds for Broward Children’s Center, a nonprofit organization that has been serving infants, children and young adults with special needs since 1971. The event raised over $70,000 that will support the Center’s crucial programs and medical, developmental and therapeutic services designed to meet the specific needs of infants, children and young adults who are developmentally disabled and medically fragile and their families.

Stephenson along with celebrity friends Lawrence Taylor, OJ McDuffie, Troy Drayton, Akin Ayodele, Mike Pouncey, James McKnight, Kerry Glenn, Ki-Jana Carter, Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez, Pierre Garcon, Travis Daniels and Vernon Carey attended the fundraising event.

Players enjoyed a lavish breakfast provided by Howard’s Market before the scramble-style tournament commenced with a shotgun start. Guests had the opportunity to participate in fun on-course activities and additional fundraising contests at different holes including hole in one, closet to the pin, the longest drive and the straightest drive. Republic National Distributing Company, the official fine wine and spirits sponsor, served complimentary cocktails all day throughout the course and during the luncheon and awards ceremony.

The day concluded with an awards ceremony and a luncheon featuring a silent auction and raffle inside The Club at Weston Hills. Prizes included sports aficionado items, vacation and restaurant packages and more. Each player received a gift pack featuring a golf hat, golf polo shirt, golf towel, plantain chips, a beer-bottle opener, cologne, mini liquor bottles, sunglasses, an umbrella and other swag items.

“We are tremendously humbled by the support from all those who joined us for a fun-filled day on the links,” said David Perez, M.B.A., director of development at Broward Children’s Center. “The inaugural Norman Bonchick Memorial Golf Tournament wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our host Dwight Stephenson, board members, sponsors and donors who are committed to serving infants, children and young adults who are developmentally disabled and medically fragile. The event helped us raise the necessary funds to serve the Centers’ crucial programs and help us provide the continuum of services designed to meet the needs of each child and their families.”

The Norman Bonchick Memorial Golf Tournament thanks its sponsors for their generous support. Sponsors included Gunther Automotive Group, Amazon, Republic National Distributing Company, Miami Dolphins Foundation, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Pioneer Roofing, Florida Blue, Integrated Power Systems (IPS), First Citizens Bank, Coca-Cola, Dixon Golf, Hoffman Chocolates, Howard’s Market, LaCroix, Robins & Morton, Southwest Airlines, Tito’s Vodka, Voli Vodka, Stephen’s Distributing Company and Fogo De Chao.

Luli Fama Turns Dadeland Mall Into a Tropical Playground With Its VIP Grand Opening

Published

on

Champagne, bold bikinis, glowing colors, and a whole lot of Luli Babe confidence


November 7, 2025

Luli Fama just opened its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall and the VIP launch felt like a tropical celebration. From the moment guests arrived, the energy was bright, bubbly, and pure Miami. Champagne was poured all night, the small bites were delicious, and gift bags were waiting at the door to send everyone home smiling.

The boutique itself is stunning. Every rack bursts with tropical color. Bikinis shimmer in sunset shades. Resort sets float on the hangers like they are already dreaming of a beach vacation. It is one of those stores that you can wander through forever because each piece feels fresh, playful, and ready for your next escape.

Luli Fama is a Latin owned brand loved worldwide for its flattering fit and vibrant, confident style. Their motto, “celebrating a passionate lifestyle one bikini at a time,” came to life in every corner of the boutique. Guests tried on pieces that made them feel strong, sexy, and ready for summer at any moment of the year.

The brand’s focus on fit is what makes it stand out. With more than 30 years of experience, Luli Fama has perfected patterns for many different body types. They know how to blend comfort, support, and style into one look. That kind of precision comes from their unique production process.

Luli Fama is the only designer swim brand with its own in house production team in Colombia, and their factory is a huge point of pride. Many of the artisans who sew, cut, and assemble each piece are women who have built long, stable careers with the company. The brand is dedicated to providing high quality jobs, skill development, and a safe, supportive workplace for its team. It is a place where craftsmanship is treated with respect and where women can support their families through steady, dignified work. Every bikini, every resort set, every gold plated detail is handmade by people who truly know their craft.

That craftsmanship was easy to feel at the event. The European fabrics were soft and luxurious. The hardware sparkled. The finishes were flawless. Even guests who were just browsing could tell the pieces were made with care, not mass produced in a rush.

Throughout the night, the Luli team brought incredible warmth. They helped guests find their perfect fits, shared styling tips, and created a friendly, festive atmosphere. The grand opening felt less like a store launch and more like a celebration of women, color, culture, and confidence.

Luli Fama’s newest boutique is officially open at Dadeland Mall, 7535 N Kendall Dr, Miami, FL 33156, right by the Apple Store and a couple doors down from Pura Vida. If you love bold swimwear, glowing prints, and beautifully crafted pieces that make you feel amazing, this spot needs to be on your list.

Wynwood Art Walk and Fashion Night Out

Published

From live murals to fashion fueled pop ups this Art Walk is wild colorful and absolutely not a stay at home night


November 6, 2025

Wynwood is gearing up for another huge Art Walk, and this time it comes with a fashion twist. On Saturday, November 8, from noon to ten, the neighborhood turns into a giant open-air celebration of art, music, and style. If you love wandering into galleries you have never heard of or discovering an artist painting a mural in the middle of the street, this is one of those days when Wynwood feels completely alive.

This month, Art Walk is teaming up with Fashion Night Out, which means more energy, more creative people, and a whole lot more to see. Fashion Night Out is a ticketed experience with panels, live music, and cocktails, while the regular Art Walk remains totally free and open to anyone who wants to explore. It is a choose-your-own-adventure kind of day, and both vibes fit right into Wynwood’s colourful personality.

The whole district is putting on a show. You can walk a single block and bump into a new exhibition a fashion pop up or an artist painting right in front of you. It is the kind of event where you will probably arrive planning to stay for an hour, and then suddenly it is sunset and you are still wandering around with a cafecito in hand.

There are tons of spots to check out but here are a few highlights you can easily wander between throughout the afternoon

Wynwood Walls is free and has a DJ and a bar so it is always a good starting point. Wyn317 is hosting a solo show by Louiedology. The Museum of Graffiti has live spray painting and a video premier with X SQUARE O which sounds very Miami in the best way. Goldman Global Arts is unveiling two new exhibitions. ARTXSPACE Paradox Museum and Fun Dimension are offering discounted admission so if you have ever wanted to try those immersive shows this is your chance.

As the sun goes down the live artists take over. Diana Didi will be at Panther Coffee from five to eight. Ivan Roque will be at Pitusa and Luis Ville will be at Society Wynwood during the same hours. The whole district feels like a walking gallery with music drifting from every corner.

Expect a lot of people a lot of art and a lot of personality. The mix of designers muralists street performers and fashion lovers makes this one of the most entertaining Art Walks of the year. Whether you are coming for the galleries or you simply want to get lost in Wynwood for a few hours it is a great night to do it.
