Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County Hosts
10 th Annual Deja Vu Celebration – “Rock of Ages”
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – On Saturday, October 6, Big Brothers Big Sisters will host its
10th annual Déjà Vu Ball – ROCK of AGES at the Bahia Mar Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale.
Déjà Vu is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County’s largest annual fundraiser and is a retro,
costumed, all-night party that celebrates the four decades of mentoring success in Broward
County. This blast from the past consistently makes the list of Top Ten Charitable Benefits in
BizBash Magazine.
Guests will experience a vibrant display of sights and sounds reminiscent of the iconic music and
images from the 60’s to the 1980’s and celebrating our past. The night will include live
entertainment from Sixth Star Entertainment & Marketing, cocktails, a silent auction, dinner and
dancing from 6:00 p.m. to midnight.
The 2012 child advocate honorees are;
Visionary Corporation of the Year – JM Family Enterprises
Community Child Advocate of the Year – Susan Renneisen – Hard Rock Hotel
Community Hero – Katrina Wright – Bank of America
Throughout the night, the honorees will be celebrated for their personal motivation, desire and
action in giving back to the youth of South Florida. Each honoree is presented with a customframed
gold record to commemorate the millions of smiles they have brought to children across
Broward County.
Déjà Vu is a one-of-a-kind event, and all proceeds from the evening will directly benefit the
children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County. With a fundraising goal of
$250,000, Déjà Vu aims to positively impact the lives of 300 children by providing them a caring
adult mentor to offer friendship and guidance. Helping to ensure the direct return of sponsorship
dollars to supporting our children, Sixth Star Entertainment will underwrite 100 percent of the
entertainment, décor and production costs, making this event one of the most cost effective
charitable benefits in South Florida.
