Red Noses Make for Smiles Smile-A-Mile Celebrates 28th Annual Red Nose Ball
The 28th annual Red Nose Ball, Smile-A-Mile’s largest and longestrunning fundraiser, took place on Feb. 22 in the BJCC East Hall. Presented by Cellular Sales Verizon Wireless and Charity Steel, festivities included a silent auction, seated dinner and dancing to live music by the Schmohawks. A live auction featuring items such as a seven-night stay in Martha’s Vineyard, Diamonds Direct jewelry, a Honda Indy Grand Prix experience and more was presented by auctioneer Guin Robinson. Host for the evening was Wendy Garner, and the event was coordinated by Smile-A-Mile board Chairman Lee McKinney, immediate past-Chairman Angie Smith and co-Vice Chairs Betsy Bailey and Doug Sutton. Proceeds from the Red Nose Ball directly support Smile-A-Mile’s year-round programs for children diagnosed with cancer and their families. ❖
