Save-A-Limb Smash

On March 17th, The International Center for Limb Lengthening, in cooperation with the Bertram Marine Group, Nike, Taittinger Champagne, SmartWater, The Grove Isle Hotel & Spa and Sinai Hospital will be hosting the Second Annual Save-A-Limb Smash.

This event raises local awareness of the high number of children that suffer from these deformities. Most doctors around the world recommend amputation as a medical solution to these patients, but Dr. Dror Paley has developed new surgical procedures to reconstruct legs and arms and give children near normal function to live normal lives. Dr. Paley will be the guest of honor for the St. Patrick's night Dinner.

The St Patrick's Dinner will be held at the pool area and ship deck of the Grove Isle Hotel & Spa at 7:30pm with an open bar all evening. There will be a silent auction and an Irish tap dance performance followed by a live band.

Dinner per person: $150 all included
Dinner per couple: $250 all included
Dinner for Children is free up to 18 years old.

The event is going to consist of a tennis exhibition during the day from 11am-5pm at the Grove Isle Hotel & Spa Tennis Facility. The tennis exhibition is set up so you can play with the pros, such as, Wayne Ferreira, Oliver Gross, Laurence Tieleman and Patrick Mc Enroe Tennis' Director Damien Ward - rather than just observing, you will actually be participating!!

Tennis event: $150 per person;
$20 per child (under 18 years old)

First of all thank you for your generosity. We are still looking for children (3-18) that would like to attend the tennis events at the Patrick McEnroe Tennis Center at Grove Isle along with our retired pros such as Wayne Ferreia, Laurence Tieleman, Oliver Gross, Jimmy Bollettieri and many others. The hours are from 11am to 1pm for clinics, and other fund activities. Food and drinks will be supplied. To conclude, you may certainly advertise this event to the children of this community.

Thank you for your suppport
