Highlights from South Beach Battioke 2012

Here's a great summary (and some great video) of #Battioke. We raised a lot money for some great kids. Thanks to all who made this a great night!!

 

Thank You

Dear Friends,

On behalf of my wife Heidi, our scholarship recipients, and the Take Charge Foundation, I would like to thank you for your generous support this week.

Heidi and I strongly believe education opens all doors and your contributions will go a long way in changing the lives of local Miami students. We often refer to our foundation’s catchphrase “Dream Big, Take Charge” as the perfect description of the young leaders in our scholarship program. From the University of Texas, to Northern Michigan, to Emory University, Take Charge Foundation scholarship winners are affecting positive change at their universities and in their communities. The satisfaction in giving comes in knowing that we are investing not only in the lives of students, but also in our community, which benefits every day from the college education received by these young leaders.

We thank you for your support in our foundation's mission to make a difference in the lives of young leaders. We hope this is only the beginning of a new chapter for the Battier Take Charge Foundation. We look forward to many years of helping Miami’s young leaders achieve their dreams through the opportunity of education. So please, be proud of the fact that we are changing lives one (ahem, colorful?) rendition of Sinatra at a time.

Cheers,
Shane

South Beach Battioke

It’s time to cut loose, have some fun and pitch in for our outstanding Miami-area students pursuing their dreams of attending college.

This is your official invitation to Heidi and Shane Battier’s South Beach Battioke. This evening of celebration will include dinner, live auction, grab bags and most importantly a Celebrity Karaoke Contest featuring your favorite Miami Heat players and other Miami sports figures. This entertaining event will serve to benefit The Battier Take Charge Foundation. This year the goal of The Battier Take Charge Foundation is to provide scholarships to deserving, hardworking students from the Miami area. South Beach Battioke begins at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27th at the Eden Roc hotel.



Live auction items include:
-Game experience: 2 floor seats to the April 4th OKC v. Heat game, dinner after at Prime 112 with Shane and his wife Heidi, and signed, game-worn shoes
-Shane experience: Bid on having Shane come speak at your child's school (either to his or her class, or at a school assembly).



Shane and Heidi established The Battier Take Charge Foundation in January 2010 to encourage and inspire leadership qualities in young people. The Battiers believe that furthering education for at-risk students is crucial in the attempt to encourage young leaders who may not otherwise have the means to attend college. The Foundation serves to award scholarships to at-risk students who have proven themselves to be deserving young leaders.

Please note that all guests must be 21 and over.
