Making A Life Changing Difference

This October, Pubbelly Sushi, known for its fusion of Japanese and Latin-inspired dishes, proudly marks its fifth year partnering with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month, a portion of the proceeds from each Butter Krab Roll sold and from the Sushi-Making Class on October 17th at the Brickell location will be donated to Sylvester's Wig Program.

“Pubbelly Sushi’s continued support of Sylvester’s wig program is an incredible example of how local businesses can make an impact on our community and on those who are navigating their Cancer journey,” said Shawn McGee, Executive Director of UCARE Community Fundraising, UHealth. “We, at Sylvester, are incredibly proud of our Cancer support services, as we embrace and support our patients. However, we could not it without the help of great partners like Pubbelly Sushi. The difference they are making is literally life-changing.”

Pubbelly’s Instagram-famous Butter Krab Roll — made with: Goma Soy Paper, Kanikama, Ponzu, and Warm Clarified Butter — is a fan favorite, and during October, it takes on special meaning, symbolizing the restaurant’s commitment to giving back.

“The Butter Krab Roll not only showcases our culinary creativity but also represents our dedication to supporting Breast Cancer patients,” said Chef José Mendín. “This campaign is something we look forward to every year as a way to raise awareness and funds for such an important cause."

For more than 30 years, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Health System and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, has been a beacon of hope for Cancer patients and their families. As South Florida’s only National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center, Sylvester offers Cutting-Edge Cancer Research, innovative clinical trials, and compassionate care that is second to none. The Center’s Wig Program, funded in part by Pubbelly’s initiative, provides essential emotional and psychological support, helping patients regain their sense of self during the most challenging of times.

"Being able to receive a wig fitting at the Cancer Center relieves a significant source of stress, helping patients restore their confidence and self-image,” said Tangela Hillery, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Concierge Coordinator. “We are deeply grateful for Pubbelly's partnership and look forward to continuing our work together."
