As the new owner of the Miami Marlins, Derek Jeter is getting right to work on making a difference in the community and giving back. At a press conference held at the sales gallery of The Estates at Acqualina, a new ultra-luxury residential development in Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach, Jules Trump, owner/developer of The Estates at Acqualina, Laura and Jorge Posada and Derek Jeter officially announced their partnership and efforts in helping families affected by the recent hurricanes.
As The Estates at Acqualina begins transforming the site into the highly-anticipated residential development, existing furniture and other household items will be donated to Laura and Jorge Posada’s designated charity, Foundation for Puerto Rico, to assist island residents affected by Hurricane Maria, and to Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 foundation to assist families who have relocated to Miami from Puerto Rico, and to residents of the Florida Keys affected by Hurricane Irma.
“The Estates at Acqualina is donating everything from beds, dressers and tables and chairs to lamps, refrigerators, microwave ovens and Flat Screen TVs,” said the Posadas. “All the furniture will be delivered to families in the beginning of 2018 and we are confident that we will truly make a difference for thousands of families in need.”
The majority of the furniture being distributed by Turn 2 will go to the Miami Dade College Foundation, which has an initiative to help families who were forced to relocate from Puerto Rico to Miami. The two Foundations are working together to ensure that these kids are still able to receive an education. Turn 2 foundation will also be donating a total of $100,000 towards the relief efforts.
“Laura and Jorge Posada have been at the forefront of the efforts to raise money and deliver essential supplies to the people of Puerto Rico since the hurricanes and Derek Jeter will be helping families here in South Florida,” said Jules Trump. “We know that the Posadas working with Derek Jeter will ensure that the furniture will reach people who truly need it.”
