etween the cascading garden light-covered entrance and the columns transformed into enchanted forest-esque trees, guests walked into more than a ballroom at the Children First Fairytale Ball. Attendees of the ball, themed “A Sprinkle of Pixie Dust” walked into a fairy tale that began with drinks, hors d’oeuvres and mingling. After cocktail hour, guests took their seats among a sea of green before hearing a “fairy tale” from Co-Chairwoman Jacqueline Ray and Children First client Eliabel Ramirez. The two spoke about how a sprinkle of pixie dust (AKA the services of Children First) helped an immigrant family from Venezuela.
