Amigos Night 2025
The sold-out event brought together more than 1,200 guests, including Miami’s cultural tastemakers, elected officials, media personalities, and business leaders, all rallying to support Amigos For Kids’ mission.
Amigos For Kids, the Miami nonprofit dedicated to preventing child abuse and strengthening families, celebrated another unforgettable edition of its beloved annual fundraiser, Amigos Night at The Hangar at Regatta Harbour in Coconut Grove. Proceeds from Amigos Night 2025 directly support the organization’s ongoing programs including after-school enrichment, parent education, and wraparound family support ensuring children in South Florida have the safety, stability, and opportunities they deserve.
The sold-out event brought together more than 1,200 guests, including Miami’s cultural tastemakers, elected officials, media personalities, and business leaders, all rallying to support Amigos For Kids’ mission.
Guests arrived to a lively black carpet and were welcomed into a stunning culinary pavilion featuring tastings from Miami’s top restaurants and chefs. The atmosphere buzzed with energy as Extasy, a local favorite, kept the crowd dancing late into the night, culminating in an unforgettable Hora Loca.
“Amigos Night is a reminder that when this community comes together, incredible things happen,” said Karina Pavone, President & CEO of Amigos For Kids. “The funds raised directly power our programs, from after-school enrichment to parent education and support for families in crisis. Every smile on that dance floor helps make Miami stronger for its children.”
The evening also featured heartfelt on-stage moments recognizing the sponsors, partners, and volunteers who make Amigos For Kids’ mission possible.
“For nearly 35 years, Amigos Night has embodied Miami’s heart; vibrant, generous, and united,” said Jorge A. Plasencia, Co-Founder & Chairman Emeritus. “It’s more than a party — it’s a promise to protect our children and empower families.”
Board Chair Yosbel Ibarra added, “Every dollar raised translates into tutoring hours, counseling sessions, and hope for children across Miami-Dade. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who showed up, in every sense, for our kids.”
