Last Thursday, December 5th, Former First Lady of Florida and CEO of CLC Global Advisors Carole Crist hosted a star-studded event aiming to raise awareness toward the necessity for impact investing that will help REBUILD PUERTO RICO.  The event was held in the iconic Faena Hotel in their Penthouse Suite where guests were greeted with champagne and photographed on the red carpet.

Among several celebrity attendees were Faena Group Founder Alan Faena, Actor Reggie Pierre, Notable Puerto Rican Artist Gustavo Adolfo, Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin, Former Marlins Baseball Star Charles Johnson, Bachelor in Paradise alum Nicole Lopez-Alvar, Famous Painter David Banegas, Influencer Jasmine Tosh, Singer Caitlin McGrath, CEO of Municipal Acquisitions Jon Kling, Former “Mrs. Florida” Karyn Turk, 9/11 First Responder and Veteran P.J. Schrantz and others.

When asked about the success of the evening Carole Crist said the following: “It was so extraordinary to see the tremendous global support for our initiative to REBUILD PUERTO RICO. From its rich culture and art to its magnificent beaches, Puerto Rico has vast opportunities for Impact Investing via opportunity zones. As fellow Americans, we want to support the people of Puerto Rico through social and economic development, job creation, and innovation. We must also work to preserve our national treasure, El Yunque tropical rainforest.”

Pledging her support going forward, Jill Zarin is quoted as saying, “I’m so impressed with all of the incredible things Carole has achieved over the years, it has been a joy to watch. Hearing about her hard work and achievements as well as attending her events has been a pleasure. My friendship with Carole goes back 15 years. She and I have collaborated on many philanthropic endeavors along the way. REBUILD PUERTO RICO is a fantastic initiative and I look forward to continuing to lend my support to this critically important mission.”

The following is a statement on behalf of Global Empowerment Mission and founder Michael Capponi: “On behalf of Global Empowerment Mission (GEM), it was an honor to be a part of REBUILD PUERTO RICO with Carole Crist. The importance of humanitarian work we do at GEM was shared with a notable group from around the world to activate this important initiative to support the people of Puerto Rico. We look forward to continuing this special collaboration with CLC Global Advisors into 2020 and beyond.”
