On October 19th, Adega Gaúcha in Orlando transformed into a stage of solidarity and art, hosting the official launch of the ART AND LOVE FOUNDATION, a foundation dedicated to the fight against cancer.

The event was a celebration of generosity and passion for art, with the fundamental support of the owner of Adega Gaucha, Ricardo Oliveira, and the event’s sponsor, Elisa Lo, CEO of 2easy Insurance and creator of the Segundo Ato series, which will be launched coming soon to Prime Video.

A night full of emotions and inspiration, the benefit cocktail brought together people committed to the cause, as well as talented artists who contributed to making the night memorable. Among those present were Gisele Espindola, Pierre Britt and Maddie Ponsini, artists living in Florida, and two others who came from Brazil to honor this moment: Rafael Carlesso and Fernando Partar.

The presence of artist Adriana Moah gave a special touch to the event, as her works of art beautified the venue, including the moving piece entitled “Survivor” which was donated to the foundation and is being raffled off to raise funds.

Another highlight of the night was the art of Natalia Thomas, known as “Tinta de Flor”, who printed a stunning Phoenix on the dress worn by the founder of the foundation, Gilmara Bertini.

The phoenix symbolizes resilience, resurgence and transformation, values ​​that resonate strongly in the fight against cancer.

The music was written by Milson Azevedo, saxophonist, who is in the process of launching his first book, and singer Márcio Mendes who brought a lot of MPB.

Sylvia Leone from Mulher Brazil magazine not only covered the event brilliantly, but also warmly greeted the guests, contributing to the welcoming and inspiring atmosphere of the evening.

The success of the charity cocktail was also boosted by the support of several companies that share the ART AND LOVE FOUNDATION’s commitment to the fight against cancer.

The union of efforts of everyone involved demonstrated that, together, we are stronger in the pursuit of such a noble cause.

More than a charity event, the night was an opportunity to connect people in solidarity with the cause, and create support networks that can make a difference in the lives of so many people affected by the disease. It was a celebration filled with love and art, a demonstration that beauty can emerge even in the most challenging circumstances.

The ART AND LOVE FOUNDATION has proven that the union of art, love and solidarity has the power to bring hope and inspiration to those facing the challenge that comes with a cancer diagnosis. This event marked the beginning of a meaningful and promising journey towards a cancer-free world, where love and art continue to be the driving forces that guide us.

With such a memorable launch, the ART AND LOVE FOUNDATION is ready to embark on a path of love, art and hope in the fight against cancer. As it moves forward, it is hoped that the organization will help light the path for those facing health challenges, demonstrating that love and art have the power to heal and inspire. The foundation is now accepting donations and partnerships to continue its remarkable mission.
