Can you name all our native South Florida butterflies? 🦋 This week, we spent time with students learning about native South Florida plants and butterflies. It was great to connect with future stewards of our unique ecosystem. Interested in learning more about our native plants and ecosystem? Join us for our monthly Day in the Dirt community event. https://lnkd.in/gT9JKFx6 #TheUnderline #SouthFlorida #Community City of Miami, Miami-Dade County, Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces, Miami DDA

Saturday night was The Underline Sneaker Ball at Brickell City Centre. After 6 years of getting the courage to create and implement a large-scale signature event, WE DID IT! And, it was all about fun and philanthropy. First, we partied with our sponsors (who made the evening possible) and their guests. The Sponsor Lounge kicked off at 5:30 PM at The Underline Urban Gym. Hosted by Braman Miami we had a fleet of Bentleys transporting guests to and from the venue. There was a tricked out blue Bentley for photo opps, plus a rocking roller skater performance and a fabulous fashion show from students Istituto Marangoni. The party then moved to Brickell City Centre hosted by Swire Properties Inc. (USA) and President Henry Bott. The third floor garden level of the mall was bumping with music, food and the drinks were flowing. We then moved to the 2nd floor where the mall was transformed into a stage, performance and party space. Emceed by lynn martinez, there was a Miami Dade County proclamation for Sneaker Ball Day led by Daniella Levine Cava Eileen Higgins and Raquel Regalado, a Sneaker Ball honoree Inter&Co as our new "Exclusive Lifestyle Sponsor" naming the Brickell Stage and future Grove Gallery and Rock Ridge Plaza. Samba dancers and a French Horn ensemble performed ... It was electric! My big announcement of the evening was that there will be a new CEO for The Underline in town effective late November. Eulois Cleckley will transition from Miami-Dade County as CEO of Transportation and Public Works to lead Friends of The Underline. I will stay on as Chair of the Board and will work with Eulois alongside Patrice Gillespie Smith President & COO. We were honored to have our lead sponsors NR International, Lennar Foundation and Inter&Co and many other sponsors and supporters "in the house" to enjoy the celebration while supporting The Underline's bold mission. Thank you to all who supported us this weekend! Thanks to the many elected officials who attended and supported including City of Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez, Chairwoman King, Commissioner Damian Pardo, CFP®, CIMA®, CRPC®, Commissioner Gabela, City of South Miami Mayor Javier E. Fernandez, City of Miami Vice Mayor Rhonda Anderson, State Senator Ana Maria Rodriguez, State Representative Vicki L. Lopez, State Representative Ashley V. Gantt, Esq. And, huge shout out to our Sneaker Ball Host Committee including board members: Norma Jean Abraham, Henry Bott, Iris Escarra, Jane Wooldridge, Brian Goldmeier, Ira Leesfield, David Martin, Camilo Miguel, Jr., Salma Rahmathulla, Miriam Soler Ramos, B.C.S., Josh Schertzer, Jessi Berrin, Rudy Touzet Christine M.

Today, we celebrate #WorldCarFreeDay. 🚗 In honor of World Car Free Day today, we invite you to explore how multimodal transportation can take on a role in your daily life. Whether you consider walking, biking, public transportation, or even carpooling, fewer cars on the road not only improves public safety, but it also plays a major role in the health of our communities. While we understand that it can be difficult to completely remove cars from our lifestyles, it is crucial that we consider how we can come together to reimagine public spaces into safe places for community members to enjoy everyday. Let us know in the comments: How are you exploring multimodal transportation today?

A special thank you to the esteemed Juan C. Mendieta of Miami-Dade County who spent the lunch hour training our team to publicly present. Each and every member of the Friends of The Underline team is an ambassador and thanks to Juan’s incredible tips we are all better equipped to tell our story succinctly, confidently and memorably. While it may take a while before we can command an audience like Juan, we sure appreciate the help! I love our symbiotic partnership with @Miami Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works.
