BBX Capital Partners With Neighbors 4 Neighbors to Adopt 56 Families Battling Childhood Cancer

BBX Capital and its family of companies recently partnered with Neighbors 4 Neighbors to support the organization’s Adopt-a-Family 4 the Holidays initiative over the holiday season. Through the initiative, BBX Capital “adopted” 56 families with children battling cancer and provided them with a spectacular breakfast and gifts from Santa. 

During the program, the families enjoyed the Neighbors 4 Neighbors Holiday Heroes Breakfast presented by BBXCapital at the Galleria Mall in Fort Lauderdale. At the event, each family was given a catered breakfast and beautifully wrapped gifts, personally delivered by Santa. Before the event, the families provided a wish list of gifts which were purchased by “Santa’s elves”—employees from the BBXCapital Family of companies (BBX Capital, BBX Capital Real Estate, The Altman Companies, IT’SUGAR, Hoffman’s Chocolates, Hof’s House of Sweets, Anastasia Confections, and Renin). 

“BBX Capital and all of its employees feel so privileged to be able to support Neighbors 4 Neighbors and bring so much joy to these children and their families during the holiday season,” Jarett Levan says, president and CEO of BBX Capital. “All of our associates are so proud to participate in opportunities to help others and this was a very truly special way to bring joy to these families, especially during this time of the year.” 

The event enabled the children to enjoy having their photos taken with Santa, courtesy of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. It also featured face painting, a balloon artist and holiday tunes provided by DJ Prēc. As a special treat, each family decorated their own three-foot pre-lit Christmas Tree with sweets from Hoffman’s Chocolates, Anastasia Confections and IT’SUGAR.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
