Aquaplex Fort Lauderdale, the premier destination for drag dining and entertainment, is turning up the volume for a rock and roll-themed birthday brunch celebrating Velvet LeNore on Saturday, March 15, at 1:30 p.m. Hosted by the Queen of the Palm Beaches herself, this high-energy event will feature performances by the Aquanettes and a delicious all-inclusive brunch, all while raising funds for Kids in Distress (KID). During this special event, 15% of proceeds from food, beverage, and raffle sales will go directly toward supporting KID’s mission to prevent child abuse and provide critical services to children and families in need.
