MIAMI | The second annual Man Cave, an opportunity to have fun while benefiting an archdiocesan charity, raised $9,190 for Catholic Charities’ Unacompanied Minors Program. The event took place May 30 at Cuban Crafters in Miami with Archbishop Thomas Wenski as host. The Man Cave allowed participants to enjoy an old-Havana style evening featuring top-notch cigars, food and domino games. It is one of many fundraisers sponsored throughout the year by the archdiocesan Development Office. For more information on future events, contact mvelasquez@theadom.org.
