25th Anniversary Royal Ball Video
We were so fortunate to have hosted the 25th Anniversary Royal Ball prior to the current and unprecedented crisis to raise funds in support of our critical cradle to career initiatives for kids and young adults with special needs and their families. We are truly grateful to those who supported our 25th Anniversary Royal Ball as your contribution will change the lives of some of our most vulnerable members of society! YOU are the reason for the success of this event! We hope that you will enjoy this video as we now find ourselves slowing down and revisiting memories. Our hearts go out to all of you and your family! Be well and healthy!

AGT Winner, Kodi Lee, Headlines Unicorn Children’s Foundation 25th Anniversary Royal Ball
On March 7,
2020, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation hosted its 25th Anniversary Royal Ball at
the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa in Manalapan, Florida. Kodi Lee, the winner of America’s Got Talent,
was the headline performance during the evening. Rachel Barcellona, Unicorn
Children's Foundation's first Youth Ambassador recipient and Junior Board
Member presented Kodi with the Youth Ambassador Award. It is bestowed on those
who have selflessly supported Unicorn Children's Foundation's mission through
extraordinary efforts of time, service, and dedication. Kodi has demonstrated
to the world that we are not defined by our disabilities but rather by our
talent, courage, determination, and positive attitude.
The event chaired by Angela Fisher, President of Unicorn
Children’s Foundation, and Valeria Rosenbloom, Lifetime Grand Benefactor, honored
the “Precious Jewels” who have helped raise nearly $18 million dollars over the
past 25 years to support cradle to career initiatives for people with special
needs. Diane DaSilva was inducted into
Unicorn’s Visionary Society, an exclusive club that recognizes extraordinary
women who are united by their acts of generosity. Nearly $450,000 was raised to
support the launch of the Unicorn Connection Center, a one stop shop to support
families whose children have intellectual and developmental disabilities which
affect 1 out of every 6 children. This
location will provide coaching, consultation, learning opportunities,
recreation, vocational training, and employment opportunities for individuals
with diverse abilities which are expected to improve health and wellness,
social connections, and life skill development.
Unicorn Children's Foundation has been opening doors for 25
years through its cradle to career initiatives supporting people with special
needs.
