Truly Miraculous Like a cool, welcoming breeze signaling the change in season, a certain magic floated through the air as over 500 philanthropists, community leaders and supporters gathered at the Monarch Beach Resort for Miracles for Kids’ annual Night of Miracles Gala. The enchanting evening began with a lavish cocktail reception where guests mingled and sipped on fine wines and spirits. The festivities then moved into the elegantly decked ballroom where those in attendance savored a sumptuous meal and participated in a thrilling live auction before Eran Raven of The Mentalist and NBC’s Phenomenon entranced the crowd with a spellbinding performance. As the night came to a close, Miracles for Kids supporter and Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Skip Martin debuted his original song, “Make a Miracle,” inspired by a Miracles for Kids client. Talk about beautiful music.
