Also in attendance was former Miami Dolphin tight end and current voice of the Miami Dolphins Joe Rose. The event which took place poolside at the Hard Rock Hotel featured cocktails and pork cooked in “La Caja China” which is a traditionally Cuban way of roasting pork. Continuing with Cuban tradition Torano Family Cigar Co. was well represented as Master Roller Felipe Sosa and Carlos “Llaca” Torano were in attendance as they cut and lit some of Torano’s finest cigars for event goers.
Dwayne Wade stood on stage to thank sponsors and event guests for helping raise awareness and funds for the Kids2Camp fund which provides scholarships to disadvantaged or disabled youth as well as the opportunity to attend camps. As he was finishing his speech the “voice” of the Miami Dolphins Joe Rose announced that the Torano Family had a special surprise for Wade as Carlos Llaca-Torano presented Wade with a box of Limited Edition Carlos Torano 2008 Tribute Churchill Cigars. A gracious Dwayne Wade thanked Carlos as he opened the box with excitement.
