On Thursday evening the 24th of May 2012, the “Art of Found Objects”, the Education Fund’s honoree celebration and charity auction was celebrated in the historic Moore Building in the epicenter of Miami’s art and design community – and as part of the celebration Casa de Campo’s very own Kim Hutchinson, who has been working with Casa de Campo for 21 years was honored to receive an “Alumni Achievement Award.”
During the Education Fund’s ‘Art of Found Objects’ Charity Auction more than 150 one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork were auctioned – all created by Miami-Dade County public school students and teachers representing a total of nearly 50 schools – with 100% of money raised donated back to their classrooms in order to help their teachers purchase supplies for next year’s lessons.
The Education Fund’s mission is to provide private sector leadership and support for innovation in public education and so as part of their annual ‘Art of Found Objects’ Charity Auction, the Education Fund presented it’s 2nd annual “Public School Alumni Achievement Awards” to 20 community leaders who graduated from local Miami-Dade public schools – and Kim Hutchinson, Director of Marketing at Casa de Campo was one of them! Congratulations Kim!
“The accomplishments each of these public school alumni has attained are extraordinary and demonstrate clearly that a quality public education can be the path to greatness. We honor each of these 20 individuals for their remarkable professional and community achievements and for the continuing commitment to a belief in our public schools.” — The Education Fund
For all who work with, for and alongside Kim in her endeavor to maintain Casa de Campo as THE #1 destination for luxury travel in the Dominican Republic, we can have no doubt that this remarkable lady certainly deserves this recognition!
“I have worked with Kim for over 20 years, much of that time in the same office. In all that time, I may have seen her mad once! She is always smiling and upbeat, and has a nice word for everyone, every day. She is a true Southern Lady, a great Mom and a wonderful friend.” — Sharon Stanish, Art Director / Advertising Manager at Casa de Campo
Thanks to Kim’s leadership in the position of Director of Marketing of Casa de Campo, Casa de Campo was recently nominated for the Travel + Leisure Magazine 2012 Worlds Best Award, is a Leading Hotel of the World and was this year honored as the “World’s Leading Golf Resort” for the 5th consecutive year in the World Travel Awards!
