More Than Just a Tournament
On May 1, 2026, Marc Anthony and concert promoter Henry Cárdenas hosted the Maestro Cares Foundation's 5th Annual Golf Tournament at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort in Aventura, Florida. But calling it a golf tournament undersells what actually happened — this was a who's-who of Latin music and sports coming together for disadvantaged children across Latin America and the U.S.
Who Showed Up
The guest list was stacked. Beyond Anthony and Cárdenas, the event drew:
- Luis Fonsi — yes, the "Despacito" guy, still showing up for the community
- Lenny Tavárez — the reggaetón hitmaker trading the booth for the green
- Jean Rodriguez — producer behind some of the biggest Latin pop records
- Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias — bringing the laughs and the star power
- NBA Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning and Dolphins icon Nat Moore
- Pro golfers Camilo Villegas and Marcelo Rozo
What Maestro Cares Actually Does
Anthony co-founded Maestro Cares to build schools, community centers, and provide educational resources for children in underserved areas across Latin America. In five years, the foundation has grown from a concept into a real engine of change — and this golf tournament is its biggest annual fundraiser.
"Together we have achieved something that goes beyond a trophy; we are creating a legacy of hope." — Marc Anthony
Why This Matters for DJs
Latin music's growth isn't just about streaming numbers and festival headliners. It's about infrastructure — the organizations, mentors, and communities that create the next generation of artists, producers, and yes, DJs. When Marc Anthony and Luis Fonsi are spending their downtime raising money for kids who might one day be behind the decks, that's the culture investing in itself. DJs who care about Latin music's future should pay attention to Maestro Cares — and consider how they can give back in their own communities.
