The Diamond Angels of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital
Foundation is celebrating its ninth annual Fairy Tale Ball on Nov. 10.
The Diamond Angels of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation are a
volunteer support group that advocates the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. The
event starts on Saturday at 7 p.m and is being held at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood, Fla.
The proceeds from the Fairy Tale Ball will go to support the
hospital’s Pediatric Cardiac Program. This year’s fairy tale setting will
invite guests into Wonderland, as the Westin Diplomat Resort’s ballroom will be transformed
into dreamlike scenes from the classic Alice in Wonderland children’s story.
Ticket’s for the ninth annual Fairy Tale Ball cost $250 dollars a person.
The evening will include a cocktail reception, dancing, dinner
and live music by Steve Augeri of Journey and David Jenkins of Pablo Cruise.
The night will also feature a live and silent auction, guests can participate
in the auction at $25 dollars a ticket. Prizes featured will include an
eight-day vacation on the Carnival Freedom.
This year’s Special Ambassador for the Fairy Tale Ball will
be Jayden Villano. He was 19-months-old when the hospital used a new device
called a Berlin heart, the artificial heart kept the baby alive while the
family waited for a donor.
In April, Villano went through a successful heart
transplant. The Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospitals’ Cardiac Program recently
completed its sixth successful heart transplant surgery.
Since the start of the annual Fairy Tale Ball, in 2004, the
event has raised over $2 million dollars toward the hospital’s Oncology and
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital is the
leading children’s hospital in south Florida and provides advanced technology
healthcare.
