A room full of POWERHOUSE women who make a difference every day for so many! A HUGE thank you to MDC President and dear friend Madeline Pumariega for including our CEO Vivian Quiroga in this private Luncheon to support the opening of the new Freedom Tower Libertad. Those of us whose families went to the tower as refugees in the 1960’s were interviewed and photographed for the archives and exhibits. We all gathered together for an exceptional cause, to preserve the historic tower and the Cuban American experience in our Ellis Island of the South.

Fairchild Gala in the Garden Celebrating 30 years last night, the Fairchild Gala in the Garden has been a magical and revered event, named one of South Florida’s most beautiful gatherings. Held to support Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, it’s celebrated as a Top Five Must Attend gala by Miami Magazine. Jimmy Quiroga Designs has partnered as official Jewelry Sponsor for many years. This year was even more extraordinary, supporting their mission on Earth and beyond. And even more so, this year we celebrated our dear friend and client, Swanee DiMare, Honorary Chair and Founder of the Gala in the Garden 30 years ago, on her very special birthday! We had the honor of sitting at Swanee’s Gala Chair table, alongside a Who’s Who of Miami’s Philanthropists!

Last night was a memorable night, which will go down in Miami history! We gathered to launch the site inauguration of the Florida International University CasaCuba building.

Jimmy and Vivian are honored to be CasaCuba Founders and were privileged to present to esteemed FIU President Kenneth Jessel a Jimmy Quiroga®️Designs Vintage Cuban Coin pin. As he said in his speech, he is a “Cubano” at heart, recognizing the indelible power and success of our noble and hardworking Cuban community throughout the US. Also joining us was our dear friend FIU Madam Provost @elizabethbejarchammas (wearing her JQ Vintage Cuban Coin necklace), and many prominent Cuban American celebrities and leaders. Our younger son, Kevin is a first year law student at FIU College of Law, a graduate of the FIU Honors College and a proud founder of the FIU Esports Department.
