The SoFlo Boat Show, produced by Loud And Live and powered by Center Consoles Only (CCO), is set to hold a press conference on Thursday, May 16th at 11 AM at Miami Marine Stadium. This event will formally announce their partnership and commitment to several boating safety awareness foundations, including The Lucy Fernandez Foundation, The Monica Burguera Foundation, and The LA6 Foundation (Lucas Alvarez Foundation).

Commitment to Boating Safety

The Loud And Live Foundation and the SoFlo Boat Show are honored to launch an initiative focused on boating safety and awareness. "Fostering awareness and education regarding boater and watercraft safety is fundamental. This is an initiative that is personal to us, and we believe that together we can build towards a safer South Florida boating community," said Nelson Albareda, CEO of Loud And Live.

Key Attendees and Announcements

The press conference will feature key figures such as Andy Fernandez from The Lucy Fernandez Foundation, Natalie and Nick Estrella from The Monica Burguera Foundation, and Alex Alvarez from The LA6 Foundation. Miami-Dade District 7 Commissioner Raquel Regalado will also be present, demonstrating her commitment to the community and support for the initiative. During the conference, Loud And Live will announce their monetary commitment to these partner organizations.

Year-Round Support and Resources

The commitment from the Loud And Live Foundation extends beyond financial support. "It’s important for us to create an event that’s not just fun, but also responsible," said Tony Albelo, President of Loud And Live. In addition to supporting the three foundations, they will collaborate with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary to provide boating enthusiasts with onsite resources and the opportunity to sign up for boat safety registration.

Media Tour and Event Details

Following the press conference, media attendees are invited to stay for a pre-event tour as preparations are underway for the SoFlo Boat Show, scheduled to run from May 17th to 19th. Last year, the show drew a significant crowd over three days, standing out as a homegrown event with international appeal, according to Abordo Magazine and IBI News.
