Boca Raton FL – March 18, 2020 – On March 7, 2020, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation hosted its 25th Anniversary Royal Ball at the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa in Manalapan, Florida.  Kodi Lee, the winner of America’s Got Talent, was the headline performance during the evening. Rachel Barcellona, Unicorn Children's Foundation's first Youth Ambassador recipient and Junior Board Member presented Kodi with the Youth Ambassador Award. It is bestowed on those who have selflessly supported Unicorn Children's Foundation's mission through extraordinary efforts of time, service, and dedication. Kodi has demonstrated to the world that we are not defined by our disabilities but rather by our talent, courage, determination, and positive attitude.
 
The event chaired by Angela Fisher, President of Unicorn Children’s Foundation, and Valeria Rosenbloom, Lifetime Grand Benefactor, honored the “Precious Jewels” who have helped raise nearly $18 million dollars over the past 25 years to support cradle to career initiatives for people with special needs.  Diane DaSilva was inducted into Unicorn’s Visionary Society, an exclusive club that recognizes extraordinary women who are united by their acts of generosity. Nearly $450,000 was raised to support the launch of the Unicorn Connection Center, a one stop shop to support families whose children have intellectual and developmental disabilities which affect 1 out of every 6 children.  This location will provide coaching, consultation, learning opportunities, recreation, vocational training, and employment opportunities for individuals with diverse abilities which are expected to improve health and wellness, social connections, and life skill development. 
 
Unicorn Children's Foundation has been opening doors for 25 years through its cradle to career initiatives supporting people with special needs.
