Best Buddies Celebrity Supporters Courtney Sixx and Charlotte McKinney Host Event Celebrating Friendship and Inclusion at Chrome Hearts in Miami

Nov 16, 2023 | Press Releases |

Miami, FL, November 16, 2023 – Best Buddies International, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for friendship, employment, leadership development and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, partnered with Courtney Sixx, owner of Bouquet Box, and actress Charlotte McKinney to host a kickoff event at Chrome Hearts in Miami’s Design District ahead of the organization’s 25th Annual Best Buddies Miami Gala.

Best Buddies participants teamed up with Sixx and McKinney to craft floral arrangements as tokens of appreciation for top donors and supporters who have demonstrated remarkable generosity and unwavering commitment to the organization’s mission.

“Best Buddies has held a special place in my heart since my high school days,” McKinney said. “The connections I’ve forged with buddies over the years transcend the mission of the organization and have left an indelible impact on my life, creating memories that I will always cherish.”

“Flowers bring such beauty and joy, just like the friendships that blossom through Best Buddies mission of inclusion,” Sixx said. “When you make a flower arrangement, you often include different flowers that complement each other, just like Best Buddies does by bringing together people of different abilities who all complement and amplify each other.”
