Children First transports guests to a fairytale

Michael’s On East was transformed into a setting fitting for a storybook for Children First’s 24th annual Fairytale Ball April 6. With a theme of Majesty Under the Moonlight, guests were greeted with a wall displaying Champagne flutes for the taking, an arch bearing the event’s name and a stage with a full-moon backdrop for the evening’s festivities.

Guests bid generously on several live auction items, heard an inspirational mission moment from a Children First employee and client and enjoyed a ballet performance by three of Children First’s cutest beneficiaries.

Proceeds from the evening go to fulfill the nonprofit’s mission of providing head start programs and services for vulnerable children ages 1-5 and their families in the area.
