Next Saturday The Diamond Angels of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation will be hosting an extravagant Alice in Wonderland themed Fairy Tale Ball at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa.



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.
