Zo’s Summer Groove With Alonzo Mourning & Dwyane Wade
Now in its 12th year, Zo’s Summer Groove is an annual charity event that raises funds for Alonzo Mourning Charities, whose mission is to encourage the educational development of youth by creating programs and youth enrichment centers that promote positive change in low socioeconomic communities. Since 1997, they have raised more than $6.5 million for various programs that aid in the development of children and their families. This year, in addition to benefiting Alonzo Mourning Charities, the event will also benefit Dwyane Wade’s charitable foundation, Wade’s World Foundation.
The five-day ZSG weekend takes place in hip and trendy Miami offering something for everyone – golf, comedy, concert, benefit dinner, free block party, all-star basketball game, and after-parties galore, in addition to the plethora of offerings found only in Miami, the sizzling beach and nightlife capital of the world.
ZSG has launched a new travel-booking engine at www.ZSG.com/travel to make it easier for fans to make their hotel arrangements and buy tickets to ZSG events. “The popularity of ZSG has captured the interest of a lot of travel partners, so we’re able to offer visitors special deals on AmericanAirlines, Avis Rent A Car, and hotels. When booking their hotel with our partners, visitors can at the same time, pick and purchase tickets for the specific events they are interested in,” said Wade.
