Elio's Kitchen presents an evening of art, fashion and philanthropy featuring designer Sebastian Rodriguez, benefiting critically ill children at UHealth/Jackson Holtz Children's Hospital

MIAMI, FL — Sept. 23, 2026 — Elio's Kitchen, a Miami nonprofit that provides emergency financial help to families with critically ill children, announces the return of Fashion ArtBeats on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at The Women's Club of Coconut Grove. The evening celebrates art, fashion and philanthropy. Proceeds benefit Holtz Children's Hospital, part of Jackson Health System, and its Pediatric Cancer Center.

This year's event features the work of acclaimed designer Sebastian Rodriguez. Guests will enjoy a haute couture fashion show, cuisine and circus style spectacles. A charity auction will offer art, fashion and more.

For Elio's Kitchen, the event extends a mission rooted in family. The organization was founded in honor of Elio Alejandro Lama Perez to serve its neighbors. It supports families facing a child's serious illness, and Fashion ArtBeats turns that commitment into direct support for the young patients at Holtz Children's Hospital.

"The journey of caring for a child with cancer is filled with a roller-coaster of emotions," said Cristina Lama Evensky, host of Fashion ArtBeats. "We cannot cure cancer alone, but together, we can fund the hope, the medicine and the future these children deserve."
