The Jeb and Columba Bush Family Fund at The Miami Foundation made a $2,500 grant to the Light of the World Clinic in recognition of clinic co-founder Elaine Vasquez and the 25th anniversary of the Hispanic Women of Distinction.
“We are privileged to support the Light of the World Clinic and help advance a better quality of life for the community,” said Lindsey Linzer, Chief Impact Officer for The Miami Foundation.
The 25th annual Hispanic Women of Distinction charity luncheon and business expo will take place Friday, Aug. 21, 2026, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, marking a milestone year honoring Latina leadership across South Florida.
Founded in 2001 by the late Erwin M. Vasquez, M.D., a Venezuelan-born cardiologist and publisher of El Heraldo de Broward, alongside his wife, Elaine Miceli-Vasquez, the program was established to recognize Latinas whose leadership, service and professional success continue to shape the region.
Over the past 25 years, the initiative has grown into one of South Florida’s most recognized platforms celebrating Latina achievement across business, government, health care and community service. For more information, visit www.hispanicwomenofdistinction.com or email hispanicwomenlunch@aol.com.
