Antonio Misuraca embarked on his humanitarian journey in 1999, filling gift bags at the home of famed attorney Roy Black and his lovely wife Lea for the Blacks Annual Gala, an initiative aiding troubled inner-city youth. Over two decades, his dedication led him to an executive board position, spearheading fundraising efforts benefiting multiple at-risk youth programs, keeping thousands out of the juvenile justice system. A documentary, "The Fundraiser," premiered at the prestigious Caan Film Festival, documenting their impactful work.
Years later he was invited by Shareef Malnik, Chairman Emeritus of Make-A-Wish, to revolutionize the South Florida chapter's annual gala. Collaborating with nightlife figure extraordinaire, Maxwell Blandford, he conceptualized Make-A-Wish Nightclub, leveraging Miami's nightlife to support the gala, raising substantial funds and granting over a hundred thousand wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Additionally, Antonio joined hands with longtime friend Michael Capponi for humanitarian last mile logistics via Global Empowerment Mission, aiding disaster stricken regions across the globe. He played a pivotal role in facilitating a meeting that became a key factor in the expansive growth of the organization.
His path then crossed with Hire Our Heroes founder, Dan Corporale, inspiring Antonio to support veterans employment issues through fundraising initiatives. Despite not serving in the armed forces, his deep passion for aiding veterans led him to advise several non-profits like American Valor Awards, One Community USA, Wake for Warriors, Donovan & Bank Foundation, Spookstock, and August Mission.
Utilizing his extensive global network, including esteemed world leaders, corporate titans, high-net-worth individuals, professional athletes, and celebrities, Antonio has consistently raised funds and awareness for various causes. Moreover, his events have been incredibly successful due to sponsorship from renowned brands such as McLaren, Sonic Automotive, Pepsi, Under Armour, Anheuser Busch, Hublot, Dom Perignon, Carnival Cruises, Ghurka Cigars, Remy Martin Louis XIII, and others.
Most recently Antonio was retained by long time friend and mentor, Al Eskanazy founder of Community Police Relations Foundation. In his advisory role at the Community Police Relations Foundation, he works to foster positive relationships between law enforcement and local inner-city communities. Through his expertise and collaborative approach, Antonio contributes to initiatives that build trust, promote transparency, and enhance public safety. He is a dedicated leader with a strong commitment to community engagement and public safety.
In his role as a civilian private contractor, working alongside retired operators from U.S. Special Operations, Antonio has provided solutions in global conflict zones for over a decade. He holds an FAA student pilot's license and has successfully completed courses in Survival, Land Navigation, Emergency Vehicle Operation, Tactical Driving, Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), and Communication. These achievements have significantly contributed to both government and civil affairs.
In his downtime he enjoys running, flying, reading, cooking, and fine red wine.
