Actress Scarlett Johansson, who recently won the Super Bowl
promotion, "Find Your Fortune at Flamingo," co-sponsored by Flamingo
South Beach condominiums and Fortune International, announced today
that she will donate the one-year lease on the three-bedroom
condominium to Miami Children's Hospital (MCH). The donated unit will
be used by the hospital for families of out-of-town patients as a
peaceful respite during their child's treatments.
Upon hearing the news of Ms. Johansson's generosity, Flamingo
developer Michael Lerner of Chicago-based MCZ/Centrum, enhanced the
donation by exchanging her three-bedroom lease for leases on three,
one-bedroom units so that more families could benefit from the
partnership.
"Our patients and their families will certainly benefit from
having these lovely homes away from home while they are in town and
under our care," said Cynthia Gutierrez-White, spokesperson for Miami
Children's Hospital.
"We were delighted when Ms. Johansson held the magic key to win
the ultimate Super Bowl prize," said MCZ/Centrum developer Michael
Lerner. "And we were even more impressed when she suggested donating
her Flamingo condo to Miami Children's Hospital. We are committed to
giving back to communities in which we do business."
Founded in 1950, Miami Children's Hospital is the only licensed
specialty hospital for children in South Florida. Ranked by Child
magazine among the best children's hospitals in the nation, Miami
Children's Hospital offers medical care and services for children from
birth to age 21. The 275-bed medical facility has expertise in all
aspects of pediatric medicine.
Flamingo South Beach is one of the largest condominium conversions
in U.S. history. The 1,688 unit, three-building community is being
re-envisioned with a $30 million rejuvenation under the design
direction of the renowned Rockwell Group. With the South Tower nearing
sell-out, the developer is poised to announce North Tower sales very
soon. North Tower prices will range from the $200s to the $850s. For
