Lori Bean and Bean Automotive Makes a Difference with Bella’s Ball and Live Like Bella® Foundation

Bean Automotive Group, led by Lori Bean, continues to support the Live Like Bella® Foundation, raising over $100,000 at the 2023 Bella’s Ball to fight childhood cancer.

For Lori Bean, owner of Bean Automotive Group and West Kendall Lexus, community support is more than a commitment—it’s a purpose-driven mission. Each year, Lori and her team rally together for the Bean Automotive Group Bella’s Ball, an inspiring event that benefits the Live Like Bella® Childhood Cancer Foundation. The 2023 Bella’s Ball commemorated an incredible milestone: a decade of Live Like Bella® fighting to find a cure for childhood cancer and supporting families in their time of need.

Celebrating Ten Years of Impact and Innovation

The Live Like Bella® Childhood Cancer Foundation was founded by Raymond and Shannah Rodriguez-Torres in memory of their daughter, Bella, who lost her battle with cancer at just 10 years old. Bella’s joy for life and unbreakable spirit became the inspiration behind the foundation, which has since provided financial support to thousands of families across the United States. To “Live Like Bella” is to serve and uplift others, a mission that the foundation embraces wholeheartedly. Over the past ten years, Live Like Bella® has funded over 36 research trials and partnered with numerous institutions to advance the search for a cure for childhood cancer.

The 2023 Bella’s Ball was a celebration of this important work, honoring the foundation’s accomplishments and recommitting to the fight against childhood cancer. This year’s event exceeded expectations, raising over $100,000 to help families affected by this devastating disease and to continue funding research initiatives. The success of Bella’s Ball is a testament to the power of community and the unwavering support from individuals like Lori Bean and her team at Bean Automotive Group.
