Over 450 of South Florida’s community leaders, philanthropists and influencers will get a backstage pass to tastings from over 20 of South Florida’s top restaurants, breweries and bakeries – all to support the rockstars of Ann Storck Center, a Fort Lauderdale-based private nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Fans will raise awareness, funds and “glasses” for Ann Storck Center’s mission, which is throughout all its 14 programs and services to discover ability and build independence so that individuals live happier, more independent, fulfilling lives. Ann Storck Center accommodates 96 residents and serves more than 300 individuals daily through an array of critical care, learning and ability-focused programs.
From sizzling skillets to rockstar spirits, guests will enjoy food tastings from featured restaurants, including Abiaka from the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, Mimi’s Ravioli, Livia Bar & Grill, Bravo Peruvian Kitchen, South Bar & Grill, Howard’s Market, Batch, CrepeMaker, Bob Roth’s New River Groves, Tasteful Thoughts and Georgia Pig. Guests can sip, savor, and rock the night away with an open bar from Republic National Distributing Company and a custom cocktail sponsored by Tito’s. Bravo’s “Below Deck” Chef Anthony Iracane will host a live cooking demonstration.

Showstopper Florida Panthers Arena host Aaron “The Speaker” Shapiro, alongside Rock With U Entertainment, will command the stage and electrify the crowd.
Headlining the event is NBC’s The Voice Season 27 winner Adam David, with his band. David is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose soulful sound and magnetic stage presence have made him one of the most compelling emerging artists in contemporary music. Hailing from South Florida, Adam rose to national acclaim as the winner of The Voice Season 27, where he captivated millions with his heartfelt performances and masterful musicianship—ultimately securing back-to-back victories for coach Michael Bublé. With a voice that effortlessly blends smooth soul and gritty blues, and guitar chops honed since the age of eight, Adam channels the spirit of icons like Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder while bringing a sound that’s distinctly his own.
Ann Storck Center’s heARTS Music Therapy Department will deliver an exceptional musical performance to start the show. Bravo’s Below Deck’s Captain Lee will make a special appearance.
Ann Storck Center will honor VIPs Howard Usher with the Lifetime Legacy Award and Howard Adkin with the Community Leadership Award.
