All-Star Nonprofit Awards winners announced

More than 400 corporate executives, community leaders and members of the nonprofit sector attended Switchboard of Miami’s fourth-annual Katz Barron Squitero Faust All-Star Nonprofit Awards at Jungle Island. The luncheon honored the work of Miami-Dade County’s nonprofit organizations and philanthropists and the impact they have on the community.

Guests were welcomed by Switchboard of Miami board member and event chair Alexander Ramos, director of operations for Interamerica Data Florida LLC, and Catherine Penrod, president and CEO of Switchboard of Miami.

“The energy within the room paralleled the passion that fuels those who were honored,” said Erica English, a shareholder with Katz Barron Squitero Faust. “The opportunity to be the title sponsor of this event allowed Katz Barron Squitero Faust to further expand our ongoing commitment and dedication to our community.”

Jacksons pledge $1 million

AutoNation Chairman and CEO Mike Jackson and his wife, Alice, have personally pledged $1 million to support cancer research at Nova Southeastern University. “So many lives have been affected by this disease,” Jackson says. “Alice and I are committed to the war on cancer. We believe in NSU and the crucial work of its research teams in finding a cure for this deadly disease.”

Alice, who is a cancer survivor, has supported NSU’s Rumbaugh-Goodwin Institute for Cancer Research through her involvement with the nonprofit Royal Dames of Cancer Research Inc.

In the spring, NSU is set to open an $80 million, 215,000-square-foot Center for Collaborative Research, which will be the new home to the Rumbaugh-Goodwin Institute and other major research entities.

Mike was honored with an SFBW Apogee Award in 2015 as Broward County Chairman of the Year. Since 2013, AutoNation has raised $5 million for cancer-related charities.

Storage central

Jay Massirman, who was profiled in the May 2015 issue of SFBW, said he expected to close on seven sites for self-storage facilities by the end of 2015, but actually hit eight by the end of November.

The latest site closed was at 1781 South Park Road in Pembroke Park and follows other locations that include Coconut Grove, Miami, Sweetwater, Doral, Fort Lauderdale and near the $4 billion SoLē Mia in North Miami.

Massirman and his partners (mcssdev.com) say they are pursuing more development opportunities.

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.
