Warning... must grab tissues!

This is a a very special Art Story performance by Michael Israel during The Angel Ball to honor everyday angels - donors, volunteers and advocates who help provide opportunities through Unicorn Children's Foundation to ensure people with special needs are given opportunities to grow strong and live a life worth living.

Paintings performed to “We’ll Get By” – Johnny Orr Band and “Hero” – Kendra Erika, a talented young up and coming singer/songwriter recently named “Boca’s Most Fascinating Singer”; and Carlos De Antonis, an Argentinean world-famed opera tenor extraordinaire.

Over $230,000 was raised from the auction in support of kids with special needs and their families. Congratulations to our everyday angels who make our work possible: Arthur Adler of Boca West Foundation, Jeannette Stark, and Rachel Barcellona! Thank you to our generous supporters for making this such a special evening! Finally, Miss Florida Teen USA, Grace Smith, was a well polished Mistress of Ceremonies!

Rest in Peace, Ty Hernandez

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the tragic passing of Ty Hernandez, the son of Unicorn Village Academy teacher Peggy Hernandez. Please keep the Hernandez family in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

In lieu of flowers:
One of Ty’s passions was volunteering to assist children with special needs and dreamt of one day opening a residential home to assist kids in the local community. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to a scholarship fund, created in his memory, at the Unicorn Village Academy in Boca Raton. This scholarship will allow students with special needs to develop functional academics, life skills, vocational training, and community living experiences at Unicorn Village Academy.

Donations can be made online at www.unicornchildrensfoundation.org by clicking ‘Donate Now’ and indicating the gift is in memory of Ty Hernandez.

The family will be notified of all donations made to his scholarship fund.
