This week was a busy one for Heat players, who enjoying the last bit of summer before their season begins early next month. Dwyane Wade was in Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos to film a PSA by Gil Green and join his Wade’s World Foundation together with The Sandals Foundation (the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International) to help kids on the island. Would-be philanthropists can now donate funds to Game Changer, an integrated sports program to benefit youth in underserved communities in South Florida and the Caribbean, by going on the resort’s site, or texting GAME to 41444. Giving has never been easier.

 

Stateside, Chris Bosh hosted an event for Warren Henry Automotive Group where he was the ultimate good sport. Bosh, who serves as the groups spokesperson, signed autographs, and did lots of meeting and greeting with 200 guests who were sipping on Embrujo and enjoying live music. Later, Bosh hosted a live auction featuring signed sports memorabilia along with Channel 7’s sports anchor Mike DiPasquale. The auction benefitted Bosh’s Team Tomorrow, which supports community-bast organizations to “uplift children, families and communities.”

The PAMM came out a big winner after the PAMM Corporate Luncheon, when JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced a major gift of art to the museum’s permanent collection. In the gift are six pieces to the museum by important female artists, including Pat Stier, Marilyn Minter, Jenny Holzer and Maya Lin. Of course PAMM Director Thom Collins had something to say about it, “This gift is the perfect example of how corporate collecting contributes to making art more accessible to our community.”
