Fairytale Ball 'The Crystal Palace'
Saturday, April 25, at Michael’s On East
Benefiting Children First

Children First’s annual celebration gala, the Fairytale Ball, is always a magical event — from the dĂ©cor to the more than 320 guests who dress the part of beautiful princesses and storybook characters. This year’s theme, “The Crystal Palace,” was chosen to highlight the 15th anniversary of the gala.

“Having so many people who care so much about the children, families and mission of Children First is truly inspiring.” — Philip Tavil, Children First President and CEO
