Break the Cycle is a Miami-based organization dedicated to empowering youth through cycling and mentorship programs. Their mission is to provide young people with the tools, guidance, and opportunities they need to lead healthy, active lives. By fostering a love for cycling, Break the Cycle encourages physical fitness, teamwork, and perseverance, while also offering mentorship and educational resources to help youth navigate life’s challenges. Your support at this event will help expand their programs, reaching more kids in need of positive outlets and mentorship.

This soirée also raises funds for the Gregory Smith Jr. Foundation, an organization born out of tragedy but dedicated to hope and change. On August 12, 2020, Gregory’s life was tragically cut short by a senseless act of gun violence. That evening, as Gregory prepared to join his friends for a game of basketball, he unknowingly said his final words to his mother, “I’m going, ma.” Hours later, Mrs. Smith received a call from Jackson Memorial trauma center with news that no parent should ever hear. Despite all efforts to save him, Gregory succumbed to fatal gunshot wounds to the abdomen. The perpetrators of this heinous act were never brought to justice, leaving the Smith family with an unimaginable void.

The Gregory Smith Jr. Foundation was established to honor Gregory’s memory and to combat the very violence that claimed his life. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, the foundation aims to create a safer environment for our youth, ensuring that no other family has to endure the pain of losing a loved one to gun violence.

By attending the Masquerade Soirée, you're not just enjoying an evening of fine wine and cheese; you're making a tangible impact. Your contributions will help Break the Cycle continue their essential work with Miami’s youth and support the Gregory Smith Jr. Foundation's mission to address gun violence in our community.

Together, we can turn a night of tragedy into a future of hope and change. Let’s honor Gregory’s memory and support the youth of Miami, creating a safer, healthier community for all.
