Bluegreen Vacations Delivers the Dream at Marlins Park!

In recognition of Childhood Cancer Month, on Friday, September 20th,  Bluegreen Vacations, the official vacation ownership provider for the Miami Marlins, welcomed Deliver the Dream child Logan Cruz, a child battling pediatric cancer to Marlins Park.  Bluegreen arranged for a once-in-a-lifetime VIP Marlins experience for Logan at the game. Eleven-year-old Logan was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2017, entered maintenance treatment in April of 2018, and attended his first Deliver the Dream retreat that same year. The Cruz family joined Bluegreen associates and President and Chief Executive Officer Shawn B. Pearson for an afternoon at Marlins Park where Logan signed a one-day contract with the team’s Assistant General Manager Brian Chattin, shagged baseballs with the players, threw out the ceremonial first pitch, and participated in the line-up card delivery.
