Miami Shores Fundraiser for Zoe Kolloras
On April 19, local Miami PR professional and blogger Rebecca Kolloras died at the age of 45. The Miami Shores resident had been dealing with Type 1 diabetes for most of her life. Now, the community that she lived in is hosting a fundraiser to benefit her 10 year-old daughter, Zoe. On Saturday, May 16 from 3 - 5 p.m., NE 98th Street and NE 2nd Ave. will turn into a block party, with Miami Shores shops and restaurants like Enchanting Creations and Mr. Pasta participating. The event, hosted by Primal Fit's Matt Pack, costs $10 for a wristband, which gets you unlimited bites from local restaurants. All proceeds will benefit this little girl who lost her mom. For more information, contact Matt Pack at (305) 392-0624.

Last Call for Khong
