MIR MIAMI 2009, hosted by Lian Fanjul's Mission International Rescue (MIR) Charities, fused the most rousing elements of South Florida's thriving social scene with philanthropy at the heart of the night at the historic Moore Building. The event marked the commencement of a signature tradition for MIR with the presentation of the first ever MIR Humanitarian Awards. In addition, the international charity raised tens of thousands of dollars to support the on-going MIR projects in the Dominican Republic. The A-list roster of guests and host committee members in attendance included Raysa Fanjul, Henry Gonzalez, Ignacio 'Nacho' and his wife Delphina Figueras, Andres and Kathy Fanjul, Ray Rodriguez, Abigail Pollak, and Oblio and Barry Wish.
