Community took center stage as Key Biscayners stepped out to bring awareness to causes that unite and change lives.

Long-time Key Biscayne residents Marianne and Carlos Coto organized the 3rd annual Cabana Crawl at Oceacn Club to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. Having planned the event to coincide with the full-moon, the “crawlers” went from cabana to cabana, where they were greeted with an assortment of food, libations and music. The entertainment at the Coto’s cabana was provided by Don Pan owners Edgar and Betty and by a saxophonist named German. Other hosts dressed their cabanas in a variety of U.S. themes, such as “Mini Fenway Park,” “Boston Seafood Market,” and “Mardi Gras,” to name a few. Others added international flair to the Crawl by offering treats from their country of origin, including Peru, Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, El Salvador, France, Italy, India and the Greek Isles.

The Key Biscayne Women’s Giving Circle held their annual fundraiser to present their 2013 grant recipients at the Adrienne Arsht Center. They were entertained by The Alice Camp Miami Dancers & The Miami Music Projects.

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center celebrated 29 years of protecting our natural environment during their annual Wild & Scenic Full Moon Affair.

The Women’s Giving Circle Annual Grant Recipients Event at The Palm Court in Ocean Club benefitted women and children in need.

The Giving Circle held their annual luncheon to further their mission of growing philanthropy by supporting programs for women and children.
