The event took place at Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club in Coral Gables on Monday, March 11. The event sold out once again and raised over $290K that will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade’s services and programs at its six Clubs and sites combined which provide educational after-school programs, tutoring and homework assistance, STEM, social skills, dance, arts and crafts, mentoring and summer and athletic programs for area youth who need them the most. These programs help children realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.

The tournament offered 144 players the chance to play for fun or at a competitive level while raising much-needed funds. The scramble-style tournament commenced with a shotgun. Players enjoyed lunch courtesy of Hooters, Edda’s Cake Design and Café la Llave. Florida’s own Tank Beer Brewing Co., the official beer sponsor of the tournament, was served all day throughout the course and during the banquet. Players enjoyed on-the-go snacks on the course, including Hooter’s famous wings, boneless chicken wings, hot dogs, fries, and burgers. Shaw Ross International and Ron Barceló rum, the official wine and spirits sponsors served cocktails all day throughout the course and during the banquet and awards ceremony.

Guests had the opportunity to participate in various activities and additional fundraising contests at different holes.

At hole one, golfers enjoyed espresso coffee from Café La Llave and cigars from La Flor Dominicana Cigars. At hole six, players had the chance to participate in a hole-in-two contest with famous long driver Bobby Bradley and at hole eight players played Closest to the Pin and at hole 14 players participated in the Longest Drive contest. At hole ten, Hooter’s hosted a game of dice and at. At the end of hole 15, there was a driving range and at hole 16, players played Hole in One courtesy Doral Automotive Group for a chance to win a one-year lease of a 2024 Corsair.

The day concluded with an awards ceremony and buffet dinner, featuring a live raffle inside Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club’s banquet hall. Raffle prizes included golf aficionado items, restaurant gift certificates, tickets to sporting events and more. All golfers received a complimentary sponsor-branded swag bag with a sponsor-branded tumbler, golf towel, golf balls and Tito’s Mini vodka bottles.

“We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from all those who joined us for a fun-filled day on the green,” said Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade President Alex Rodriguez-Roig. “The 57th Annual Golf Classic wouldn’t be possible without our committee, board members, sponsors and donors who are committed to providing great futures for our area youth. The annual event helped us raise the necessary funds to serve the Clubs’ many positive programs, support the Capital Campaign to completely rebuild the Northwest Club into a state-of-the-art facility and expand the new sixth Club.”

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
