MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED THE 2011 CHARITY BALL
On December 3, 2011, the West Chester Charity Ball ushered in the holiday season in festive style. Two hundred fifty guests attended the Ball which sparkled with holiday decorations and featured gourmet sushi and crab cake stations, silent and live auctions, holiday music by the Shaw String
Quartet, dance music by the Tonebenders, an old fashioned photo booth, beautiful posed photos with holiday décor backdrops, and a presentation of the Friend of the Community Award to Val Jester.
The generosity of our guests and sponsors will support homeless families with children, in the coming year, through our Emergency Family Shelter and Homeless Prevention Programs.
