The 113th Anniversary Charity Ball – The Power of Love was held at the Hotel del Coronado with all proceeds benefitting the Neuroscience Institute at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. Chairman Vicki Eddy hosted a dazzling night of celebration and support as guests dined, danced, and toasted to the elegant tradition of the Charity Ball. Among the distinguished attendees were Maria Brunker, Katrina Whipple, Blair Sadler, Katrina Burrus, David Marchesani, Danitza Villanueva, Don Swortwood, Don Vaughn, Ellen Moxham, Julie Novak, Linda Swortwood, and Mel Katz. First celebrated in 1909, Charity Ball is San Diego’s oldest and grandest philanthropic event. Since 1954, Charity Ball has exclusively benefited Rady Children’s Hospital. This year’s beneficiary is the new Neuroscience Institute, which offers the exciting possibility of changing the future of a child who has a potentially devastating neurological condition.
