Amigos For Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect, hosted the 13th annual edition of what has become Miami’s most popular annual fundraiser, the 2015 Miami Celebrity Domino Night. Committed to creating awareness through education and strengthening families, Amigos For Kids once again partnered with returning presenting sponsor Bacardà U.S.A. and platinum sponsor the Lincoln Motor Company for the highly anticipated fundraising event.
“Amigos For Kids has been serving our community for almost twenty-five years, and our commitment is unwavering towards putting an end to child abuse,” said Rosa Maria Plasencia, Amigos For Kids President & CEO. “We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to count on the support of long term collaborators. On behalf of the children and families we serve, I extend our sincere appreciation to all the donors and partners who support our mission— our Board, our staff, our amazing sponsors, elected officials and celebrities— for making this another fun and successful Domino Night! Thank you for standing together to say There’s NO Excuse for Child Abuse!”
