9th Annual Gala A Smashing Success.
​(Feb. 13, 2007)

​The Unicorn Children’s Foundation’s “Une Soirée d’Elégance” certainly lived up to its name at Unicorn’s recent fund raising gala held at the Mar-a-Lago club.  Four hundred and fifty plus elegantly clad guests from as far a field as Italy, Paris, England, and Canada, were warmly greeted by Gala chairs Karen and Dan Swanson, Teri Wolofsky and Larry Witte along with Grand Dame Jeannette Stark.  FounderDr.Mark Rosenbloom and Grand Benefactors Mike and Valeria Rosenbloom, with President Juliette Ezagui, discussed with guest speaker Dr Rafael Cabrera and wife Lori the parents of children with autism, how delighted they were that the organization founded in 1995 has continued to grow so successfully each year to benefit so many children with communication disorders.  The evening held several surprises including guests who were astounded when their waiters grouped to perform some wonderful famous opera arias; it was a hoax as they were the world renowned “Three Waiters” which had guests begging for an encore.  What a warm up for Gloria Gaynor who bought the house down with her famous “I will survive” the dance floor heaved with “survivors” singing along to her every word.  The silent and live auctions surpassed all expectations with vigorous bidding on the exquisite suite of jewels donated by Gary Koenig of Whiteflash.com fame, valued at $75.000, as well as a Mercedes from Mercedes-Benz of Palm Beach.
Many of the guests were excited at not having to wait until 2008 for the next Unicorn extravaganza, but will celebrate with Unicorn at their fundraising “Imperial Ball of Monaco” on July 18th at the legendary Hôtel de Paris.
Proceeds go towards children with learning and communication disorders.  For more information about “The Unicorn Children’s Foundation” call 561 620 9377 or visit their new web site www.unicornchildrensfoundation.org
