Her Majesty Queen Silvia, and Her Royal Highness Princess Madeleine of Sweden will attend the Childhood Spring Gala Dinner, on April 2. Proceeds from the gala dinner, being held by the global nonprofit organization World Childhood Foundation, will benefit both projects in the US and globally, among them Children’s Harbor in Pembroke Pines and Kristi House in Miami.  The dinner is being underwritten and held in the home of the event’s Grand Benefactors, Mr. Per-Olof and Mrs. Åsa-Lena Loof.

“My wife, Åsa-Lena, and I are honored to host Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness in support of World Childhood Foundation,” said Mr. Loof, “It is a privilege to share our home with such esteemed guests while benefitting a cause that is dear to our hearts and vital to the future of the children of the world.”

“We are pleased to be in Florida for the Childhood Spring Gala Dinner, in an effort to emphasize the tragic global issue of sexual abuse and exploitation of children, present in Florida and throughout the United States, as well as in neighboring South and Latin America. It is imperative that we work to reach beyond borders while remaining true to helping children directly, one project at a time,” said Childhood USA Executive Director, Charlotte Brandin.

Opportunities to attend and support the event range from $50,000 to $10,000.  Seating for the Childhood Spring Gala is limited to 175 and will be sold on a first-come-first served basis.  Individual seats are available for $1,000.
