The Fundación MIR cordially invites you to their summertime fundraising celebration – the Fundación MIR Family Weekend for Life, this year taking place on Saturday the 10th of August with golf and tennis tournaments, as well as the glamorous dinner-dance on Minitas Beach.
“By attending this event, our guests are truly making a difference in the lives of the 1,000+ children at the MIR schools (grades K – 12). We are so thankful for every dollar we receive.”
— Lian Fanjul Azqueta, President and Founder

This philanthropic event is always sponsored by many national and international companies. This year the major sponsors are Tiffany & Co, MGSCOMM, American Airlines, Casa de Campo, Ron Atlantico, Baptist International Health, Scotiabank, Listin Diario and our sister publication CasaLife magazine, Casa de Campo’s exclusive resort and resident magazine.
Golfing on the La Romana Country Club
This year the event will begin at 9am with the tennis tournament to be played at the La Terraza Tennis Center – with categories for both children and adults so the whole family can get involved! Later in the day, the golf tournament will tee-off around the La Romana Country Club golf course at 1pm.
Fun at the Fundación MIR Family Weekend 2012
Later glamorous guests will enjoy a magnificent dinner-dance at Minitas Beach. Returning for the 4th year will be Pamela Sued who will play the role of emcee, as well as DJ Gringo who is being flown down (courtesy of American Airlines) especially for the occasion.
As has become the tradition, Tiffany & Co will be taking part by donating 75 pieces of Tiffany’s jewelry… but instead of the Mystery Blue Box wall we can expect something new! Details are yet to be revealed but we do know that amongst the pieces for sale will be Tiffany’s new Ziegfeld Collection, inspired by the Great Gatsby movie! Fundación MIR has already started taking pre-orders on the Tiffany boxes – so if you want one be sure to reserve yours when you purchase your tickets (details below).
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Fundación MIR Family Weekend for Life 2012 – a splendid celebration!
Wasn’t it wonderful? Blessed with the most beautiful sunny weather and the clearest starry night, the Fundación MIR Family Weekend for Life, which raises funds to support the everyday running of the Fundación MIR’s 3 schools in La Romana – was simply splendid. And with a BIG increase in participation over last year – it was without a doubt, a resounding success!
The Fundación MIR is a non-profit organization which works to provide education to the children of the greater La Romana area, who are most in need. They run 3 schools; the MIR Esperanza (boys vocational school), the Escuela Tecnica Vocacional Fundación MIR (girls vocational school) and the Primaria MIR (infants school).
