A Legacy That Began Over a Century Ago


In 2009, the Benedetti family made the life-changing decision to leave Venezuela and begin a new chapter in the United States. Starting over wasn’t simply a business move—it was a leap of faith driven by resilience, determination, and a clear vision for the future.


They acquired South Dade Toyota in Homestead, Florida, and transformed it into one of Toyota’s highest-performing dealerships through a strong focus on customer satisfaction, operational excellence, and employee development.


A key part of that journey has been Boris Lopez, who began working alongside Mario JT Benedetti in Venezuela and continued growing with the organization in the United States. From his early career in information technology, Boris advanced through the company and now serves as General Manager and Chief Operating Officer, helping lead operations, develop teams, and support the continued growth of South Dade Group.


What began as one dealership has grown into a multi-location automotive group that includes South Dade Toyota, South Dade Kia of Miami, South Dade Kia of Homestead, Jesse’s Body Shop, and South Dade Rent A Car—all while remaining proudly family-owned.


Growing with South Florida

More than a dealership group

Today, South Dade Group continues to grow under the leadership of Mario JT and Lucy Benedetti, supported by an experienced executive team and the involvement of the next generation.


Their children, Mario Enrique and María Gabriela Benedetti, are part of the family business, continuing a legacy that now spans four generations. Their involvement represents both the future of South Dade Group and the continuation of the values that have guided the family for more than a century.


At South Dade Group, success is measured not only by the vehicles we sell, but by the lives we impact. Our culture is built around people—our employees, our customers, and the communities we proudly serve.

Inspired by God,

Fueled by Purpose.


The Vault Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring those who serve, supporting the families who stand beside them, and strengthening the communities we call home.

Our mission is centered on supporting military service members, veterans, first responders, their families, and communities in need through meaningful outreach, appreciation initiatives, community events, education, disaster relief, and strategic partnerships.


Our Story


The Vault Foundation was built on a simple belief: when you have the ability to serve, you have a responsibility to serve.

Founded by longtime community leader and first responder Karin Mas, The Vault Foundation grew from decades of hands-on community involvement, disaster response, support for first responders, and a deep appreciation for the men and women who serve our country.

What began as individuals and community partners coming together to help wherever they were needed has grown into an organized mission focused on creating lasting impact.

We believe service is more than saying “thank you.” It means showing up.

It means supporting a military family while their loved one is deployed. It means standing beside first responders who dedicate their lives to protecting others. It means helping communities recover when disaster strikes. And it means bringing businesses, volunteers, civic leaders, and organizations together to accomplish more than any of us could accomplish alone.
