His House Children’s Home (HHCH), located in Miami Gardens, and joined with sponsors Comcast, Leyva Capital, and Ubreakifix, hosted its 11th Annual “Imagine” Charity Gala on Saturday, October 11 at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami. Hosted by Ambrosio Hernandez, senior news anchor of WSCV/Telemundo-51 and 8-Time Emmy Award Winner, over 500 guests celebrated a special evening to benefit the lives of children in foster care.

The evening began with a cocktail hour followed by fine dining and musical entertainment. Participants had the opportunity to bid on auction items, which included Montica fine jewelry, vacation getaways, autographed sports memorabilia, tickets to meet and greet Andrea Bocelli.

A live auction, presented by professional champion auctioneer, Jim Gall, sold items such as an Azamara Club Cruises 14-19 day voyage to anywhere in the world within 66 countries. Dance in Motion presented a beautiful ballet performance and Marie Elena Elvira “Manena”, Florida’s 2014 Hispanic Heritage Month Artist, created a signature piece live during the event.

Among those who attended were Florida State Senator Rene Garcia, TV hostess of “Acceso Total” Marianna Rodriguez, Miami Congressional Candidate Carlos Curbelo, honorary hosts Jay and Jessica Leyva, Judge Monica Gordo and Congressman Joe Garcia.

“It is always a pleasure to spend time with my friends at His House.  Their hard work and dedication is a true testament to all,” affirmed Senator Garcia.
