Celine Dion accepts a gift after performing at Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami
Heat’s James and Singer Celine Dion Help Audemars Piguet Celebrate Miami’s Baptist Cardiac and Vascular Institute
MIAMI, FL – Superstars Lebron James and Celine Dion teamed up with Audemars Piguet to help raise money for an expansion of Miami’s Cardiac & Vascular Institute on January 16.
The evening began with a private concert for 1,700 by Celine Dion and was followed by a dinner/auction sponsored by Audemars Piguet. Dion gave the sold out show at the Jackie Gleason Theater at Miami Beach in thanks to the Institute for a procedure they performed that saved her husband’s life, René Angélil. The Institutes founder and medical director Dr. Barry Katzen carried out the procedure.
“It started a little over two and a half years ago. We had quite a scare. Our family doctors discovered that René had a critical narrowing of the artery to his brain, the carotid artery, putting him at a high risk for stroke,” Dion said in her video which was played after the concert.
Fracois-Henry Bennahmias, President and CEO of Audemars Piguet, spared no expense at the dinner and auction, providing many elegant pieces to be put up for bid. NBA megastar James was there as well to promote his affiliation with Audemars Piguet and help raise money for the Institute.
One of the most prized pieces of the night was an 18K Jules Audemars Chronograph Tourbillion watch drenched in white gold and baguette diamond. Bennahmias was joined on stage with Dion to promote the watch, with Dion even taking stealing the show for a while by singing songs to help the crowd with their bidding.
