“After a two-year hiatus, we’re so excited with the return of our annual marquee fundraiser, Miami Celebrity Domino Night, which comes just in time to commemorate Amigos For Kids’ 30th anniversary,” said Jorge A. Plasencia, co-founder and chairman emeritus, Amigos For Kids. “We thank everyone that has supported our organization and its vital mission of serving the under-resourced and fighting child abuse over the past three decades.”
A highlight of the evening will be the blue carpet that will showcase many of Miami’s celebrities, media personalities, elected officials, community and corporate leaders, as well as the social elite. The evening will also feature a performance by renowned celebrity, DJ Laz, and the sounds of live entertainment by cover band, Extasy.

“This event helps to raise funds to support the vital work of Amigos For Kids.
