BeLive, the event that raises much-needed funds for four Colombian non-profit organizations, Give to Colombia, Formula Sonrisas, Genesis Foundation and ArtNexus Foundation and is slated to happen on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, will be an evening to remember with well-respected and recognizable television personalities and renowned celebrities.

BeLive is thrilled to announce that Sofia Vergara will co-chair the 5th Anniversary along with this year’s Chair, style and fashion icon Lauren Santo Domingo. Sofia has been nominated for two Emmy and Golden Globe Awards for her role in the ABC Series “Modern Family,” broadcast in 81 countries around the world. This year she will also star in the Warner Bros. 3D sequel “Happy Feet 2,” together with Robin Williams, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon; Columbia Pictures’ “The Smurfs,” together with Hank Azaria, Neil Patrick Davis and Katy Perry; and New Line Cinema’s “New Year’s Eve,” together with Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Hillary Swank and Ashton Kutcher. Sofia is the new spokesperson for Diet Pepsi, CoverGirl, Comcast and State Farm and recently launched her clothing and accessories line, created exclusively for Kmart.

In addition to a long list of celebrities, the evening will be filled with fashion surprises. Lauren Santo Domingo, Contributing Editor for Vogue and Co-Founder and Creative Director for Moda Operandi, will be spearheading both the Mochila Wayuu Project and the sensational fashion show, produced by The Webster. The Mochila Wayuu Project will once again take 40 hand-woven Mochilas, created by the Wayuu community in Guajira, and they will be reworked by some of the world’s most prominent fashion designers, including Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Christian Louboutin, Herve Leger, Helmut Lang, Adolfo Dominguez, Theskeyns Theory, and many more. The fashion show will showcase a spectacular surprise collection on the runway.
