Just returned from the Hilton Anatole where Crystal Charity Ball preparations are way underway. Like who needs to fly to NYC when we’ve got “Magnificent Manhattan” here.
Crystal Charity Ball’s Broadway
By Saturday night, a major case of cabin fever will have set in, so why not take your pretty, sweet time and head on over to the area’s biggest fundraiser for children’s nonprofits?
And that is what it’s all about — the children. Whether it’s teaching children how to swim or addressing the issue of suicide among youngsters, the CCB 100 are raising money for them. You may never know one of the children who benefit from this amazing fundraiser. That’s not the point. The goal of such fundraising is to help others, not to receive thank-you notes from the individuals who benefit from the effort.
And if you’re one of Saturday’s sell-out crowd in attendance, look around. Among the hifalutin types in long gowns and tuxedoes, look for the ones who are on the frontlines of helping the kiddos. They are the beneficiaries of 100 women, who have spent the past year raising millions of dollars to support their efforts to make “a difference for good.”
