| Funding | Fairy Tale Ball….a night to remember! On January 28, <strong>2012</strong>, the <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>League</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Corpus</strong> <strong>Christi</strong> held its 7th annual Fairy Tale Ball fundraiser. The honorees for the event were the Past Presidents <strong>of</strong> the JLCC. Thanks to the generous support <strong>of</strong> Razzle Dazzle and the creative minds <strong>of</strong> the guests, the Ortiz Center was turned into a star-filled wonderland with tables inspired by fairy tales. The evening began at 7:00 with guests walking down a starlined path. When they entered the venue, guests had the option to pose for a “Prom Picture”, step into the photo booth or take their chance at the color wheel to win a bottle <strong>of</strong> wine! Upon entering the ballroom, the attendees were treated with the royal treatment. A bid board and silent auction waited with wonderful items from across the Costal Bend area. With both D.J. Boy R D and the Sophisticates entertaining the crowd, the dance floor quickly became the hotspot <strong>of</strong> the evening. Other entertainment included a Cigar Roller on the patio with a chance to win dinner at Bleu Bistro, a Whiskey and Watches raffle for the men and a Bubbles and Beads raffle for the princesses at the event. A short tribute film honoring the Past Presidents and explaining the benefits <strong>of</strong> the JLCC was played for the crowd. After the tribute, it was time to mix and mingle! The 7 th annual Fairy Tale Ball was an amazing success. The ball raised over $49,000 that will be spent in the following year on programs and outreach by various JLCC committees. The event would not have been successful without the tireless help <strong>of</strong> an amazing committee and the support <strong>of</strong> so many wonderful local businesses.
