Description
The Miami Recognition Dinner is the premier annual celebration of South Florida's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Launched in 1997, the Recognition Dinner quickly cemented its place as the event for uniting the community and honoring its heroes. Honorees in the past have included Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Julian Bond, Cristina Saralegui, and Leonard Pitts. Despite the country's economic downturn, last year's event drew over 600 guests and raised over $260,000. This dinner also provides vital funding to local service organizations. To date, the Dinner and its sister event, Winter Party Festival, have raised over $2 million for organizations serving the South Florida LGBT community.
