Amigos For Kids host the "Voya Miami Celebrity Domino Night" at Jungle Island


Sazoneros! There are plenty of amazing events taking place around town lately. Here's one I recently attended on Saturday, June 14th: The Voya Miami Celebrity Domino Night! It's one of my favorite annual events in this city and can you believe more than 1,800 guests attended this year? The event benefits Amigos for Kids, a Miami-based non-profit organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect. Devoted to strengthening families and educating communities, Amigos For Kids once again partnered with title sponsor Voya Financial (formerly ING U.S.) and major corporate sponsors Bacardí U.S.A., Walmart and The Lincoln Motor Company for their highly anticipated event. “Amigos For Kids is extremely fortunate to once again have celebrated an incredibly successful Voya Domino Night,” said Rosa Maria Plasencia (pictured below: second from the right), Amigos For Kids President & CEO. You'll be happy to know that Amigos for Kids exceeded their fundraising goals and raised $400,000 which marks their most successful Domino event to date!
The 2014 Voya Miami Celebrity Domino Night featured the renowned celebrity orange carpet, celeb domino players, bar courtesy of presenting sponsor, Bacardí U.S.A., a silent auction, live entertainment, South Florida culinary fare and much more. Guests mingled while helping to raise funds and create awareness about child abuse and neglect with iconic celebrities and personalities. Entertainment Sponsor, Dr. Maribel Santa Cruz made it possible for guests to enjoy live performances by GRAMMY Award winning recording artist, and Salsa music legend Willy Chirino (pictured below), and world-renowned DJ and Miami Heat resident DJ Irie. 
Overall, it was an amazing and really fun night at Jungle Island. I feel like you really do run into all of Miami's movers and shakers at this event. For more pictures from that evening, I definitely recommend you hop over to WorldRedEye.com. There's even a shot of yours truly on there so thanks for the love World Red Eye! Till next year....cheers to Amigos!
