If you are like me, the calendar of festive events is packed with amazing ways to celebrate the season.  The first week in December, the Coral Gables Woman’s Club’s Gringo Bingo on December 2nd, helped raise funds for The Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bells Run. The run on December 6th was a smashing—and hilarious—success. Held at Tropical Park, there were costumed holiday characters everywhere you turned. The morning run drew a great crowd including a strong team from HCA Mercy Hospital, whose orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gilbert Beauperthuy-Rojas, was the event honoree.

AutoNation, in partnership with the Orange Bowl Committee, Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami Gardens, recently celebrated the grand opening of the new Orange Bowl STEAM Center presented by AutoNation at Bunche Park West Recreation in Miami Gardens, Florida. “Through our partnership with the Orange Bowl Committee, AutoNation is giving back to the community, ensuring that local educators and students have a true 21st-century learning environment,” said Marilité Vazquez-Gonzalez, Senior Director, Sponsorships and Co-op, AutoNation and member of the Orange Bowl 2026 Host Committee.
