Michael Miles and Alexandra Stevens joined more than 400 guests at The Royal Sonesta Hotel for the fifth biennial Turn It Gold gala: A Salute to Bravery. It was a record-breaking evening that generated $740,000 for the Turn It Gold Foundation, founded by Mike and Angela Dina, to support children and families affected by cancer. A Salute to Bravery honored Kiera and Katrina Nathaniel with the Bravery Award for Kiera’s brave battle against pediatric cancer, and the Brave Life Honor was awarded to Bryan, Ali, and Jameson Massey, remembering the life of the late Mark Massey who fought an aggressive form of brain cancer. Mike Marrie and event chairwomen Jeannette Muecke, Cathy Blundell, Katherine Gring, and Joslyn Paris were presented with Bold Awards for their work to fight childhood cancer. Entertainment for the evening included musician Will Dempsey, who gave an acoustic performance, followed by dancing to live music from country music star Drew Baldridge.
