The Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders Unveil their 2012 Swimsuit Calendar at LIV Nightclub

When I say hurricanes can't stop us in Miami...it really is true! On Wednesday, August 24th, the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders hit the catwalk inside LIV Nightclub at the Fontainebleau to unveil their 2012 swimsuit calendar. This annual fashion show featured a special line up of sexy bikinis mixed with flirty costumes to highlight every month of the year. Guest enjoyed amazing music by Miami's own DJ Irie who kept the show sizzling till the very last song! Throughout the event, attendees were able to purchase their copy of the calendar and the cheerleaders even signed copies for the fans after the fashion show. Proceeds from last night's event benefited the Miami Dolphins Foundation which is devoted to providing and supporting signature education, health, youth athletic programs and volunteer activities that inspire and engage communities throughout Florida. The 2012 calendar, shot on the grounds of Puerto Plata on the Dominican Republic's northern coast, costs $15.99 and can be purchased online at Dolphins.com. Enjoy my pictures and video!

While the cheerleaders strutted down the catwalk with these funky feathers and bright colors, DJ Irie was playing Katy Perry's "Peacock"song in the background. I loved it!

I loved how the cheerleaders took the time to autograph copies of their calendar after the runway show. Cheers to a fabulous event and make sure to catch all of the football action this season by visiting Dolphins.com or the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders website.

Jason and Katina Taylor host their "Nothing but the Best Celebrity Golf Classic" Dinner Party

On Sunday, May 16th, the Jason Taylor Foundation celebrated their 7th annual charity dinner & auction at the new Martorano's Italian-American Kitchen located at the Seminole Paradise Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. This dinner event kicked off Jason Taylor's Celebrity Golf Classic and was appropriately titled "Nothing but the Best!" The owner of the restaurant, Steve Martorano, was not kidding when he said his restaurant is known for their delicious meatballs. During the night, many of Jason Taylor's close friends and fellow football players were in attendance to support his foundation. This annual two-day event benefits the Jason Taylor Foundation, Holtz Children's Hospital and Take Stock in Children.

In 2009, the Jason Taylor Foundation contributed nearly $350,000 in programs and services to a variety of organizations dedicated to serving our community's children in need. The foundation also donated $50,000 to the Jason Taylor Children's Learning Center (located at the Holtz Children's Hospital) in Miami to provide an educational and recreational haven for hospitalized children facing extensive stays.

Today, Jason Taylor is best known for his role as an all-pro linebacker and defensive end for the New York Jets. But in 2004, Jason started his own foundation along with his wife, Katina. The Jason Taylor Foundation's mission is to support and create programs that facilitate the personal growth and empowerment of South Florida's children in need. Even though Jason no longer plays for the Miami Dolphins, he has always kept our city in his heart!
