Masquerade Ball

The fifth annual Miracle Babies Casino Royale fundraiser will stage a Masquerade Ball at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine on September 27. Festivities begin at 5pm with a red carpet stroll, and continue with libations and a silent auction. The evening gets into full swing with a seated dinner and a dazzling program of entertainment that includes a performance by Laura Dasi, the talented dancer and aerialist from America’s Got Talent. A live auction is also scheduled to tempt patrons. Emcee is Kelly Emberg; event proceeds will help families overwhelmed by the financial burdens associated with caring for newborns in a neonatal intensive care unit.
