Miami
FL – February 4th 2017 – Unicorn
Children’s Foundation is pleased to announce that our 2nd Annual Luncheon was a smash hit! This year’s Mad Hatter’s theme, hosted by the
amazing Gwen Taylor, incorporated all the elements of Alice in Wonderland, as
we honored longtime benefactor Madeline Hillsberg. Overall, Unicorn
collected over $75,000 in honor of Madeline, to help kids with special needs
excel in the community!
Upon arriving at the beautiful & exclusive
Indian Creek Country Club in Miami Beach, guests were immediately taken with
the enchanting décor – fragile tea cups stacked precariously high with balloons
and teapots, all to compliment the theme with a little organized madness. This trend continued with amazing table
decorations, all courtesy of Floral Designs by Yamir, Inc.
The madness continued with an assortment of auction
items, which included a simply stunning emerald golden necklace up for grabs to
the lucky live auction winner. This,
along with some unique art pieces specifically made for the event, courtesy of
Connie Danluck, made for a very special shopping experience for all
guests.
Emceed by the sensational Spottswood Dudley, whose
top hat had no equal, the program included musical entertainment by Pianist
Rick Leonard and singer Lisa Donald-Minus, as well as a special appearance by
Envee. It culminated with a beautiful
honoring of Mrs. Madeline Hillsberg, who has supported Unicorn for over 2
decades. In addition, guests
participated in a chance drawing, the lucky winner of which won a 14K gold
diamond necklace, courtesy of Gregory’s Fine Jewelry. There was even a magnificent hat contest, the
winner of which took home a custom set of tea cups/teapot, as well as a signed
original book of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This program was only complimented by the
amazing food, drink, and service provided by the Indian Creek Country Club, as
guests enjoyed a delectable menu specifically crafted for this event.
Unicorn
would like to thank all of our Sponsors for helping make this event a
resounding success, including; Simply the Best magazine, Gregory’s Fine

Finally, a big
