The flashy costumes! The flair! The fun! Hunters Nightclub in Wilton Manors was packed for the annual Celebrity Lip Sync Battle. Local celebs of all stripes showed up and showed out on the stage. From Prince Trilla to Jonathan Casanas to Tiffany Fantasia and more, only the most entertaining of entertainers wow’d the crowd.
This year’s event was dedicated to helping Broward House, which was left devastated by April’s flood. All money raised is earmarked to help the organization rebuild. Jana Jaffe of Broward House said a whopping $20,000 was raised.
“Kevin [Clevenger] worked his butt off and it was such an amazing event. The performers were amazing.”
Clevenger organized the event for the seventh year, which began as an opportunity to reach out to the community in a fun, yet impactful way.
“The Celebrity Lip Sync showcased twenty LGBTQ+ performers that helped us raise critical funds to rebuild Broward House assisted living facility due to the flood in April. FlockFest would like to thank everyone at Celebrity Lip Sync Battle who donated their time and tips to this worthy cause.”
Broward House had to gut its facilities after the flood, but the staff’s dedication to their clients has never waivered. While the main building is under repair, they continue to take a proactive approach to helping people who are in desperate need.
FlockFest sponsored the event, which raised $10,000. That money was matched by the Warten Foundation, for a grand total of $20,000.
In all, nine fierce head-to-head battles went down, with the crowd cheering louder and louder as the night went on.
