Unicorn Children’s Foundation to host funky, Disco themed Gala to benefit children with special needs

On Sunday, March 4th, 2018, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation, along with chairs Gregory Fried and Kurtis Lutz, will host its first ever, non-formal, Disco & Diamonds Gala at the Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida. Proceeds of the evening will support awareness, education, acceptance, and opportunity for children diagnosed with special needs.

This amazing evening will feature a Studio 54 themed Disco party, where guests are encouraged to wear disco (or cocktail) attire, complete with live performances by the acclaimed Private Stock Band, as well as other special guests.  Come dance the night away in support of our Mission to enable children and young adults with special needs excel in their communities!

Unicorn is also very excited to induct Mrs. Melissa Hassan into our Visionary Society, an exclusive club that recognizes extraordinary women who are united by their acts of generosity to help kids with special needs excel in the community. Members inducted into this society are presented with an exclusive gold Kaufmann de Suisse unicorn pin featuring a brilliant diamond eye, representing a beacon of hope.

The evening will also feature a special recognition of our honorees who work every day to support, advocate for, and empower individuals who think, communicate, and learn differently–

Michael Simpson, Owner at Little Stinker LLC, and Richard Rawlings, of the Gas Monkey Foundation, will both be inducted into the prestigious Order of Unicorn, which consists of philanthropic men who have demonstrated their commitment to improving the quality of life for those with special needs through generous financial contributions.

Dominique Rivera, 2017 Royal International Miss Teen, will be awarded the Unicorn Youth in Service award in recognition of her exceptional volunteer work in her community on behalf of individuals challenged with invisible disorders.

Guests will dine on exquisite hors-d’oeuvres and amazing food, including a magnificent dessert bar extravaganza provided by Boca West Country Club.  There will also be a fabulous Silent & Live Auction, Wine Wall, and special surprises for our guests.   Unicorn Ball tickets are $300 per person and may be purchased through the foundation’s website www.UnicornChildrensFoundation.org or by calling 561-620-9377.
