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. Founder Dr.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 Mer cedes-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
