On November 22nd, The Valerie Fund hosted it's 28th Annual Thanksgiving Ball Gala at The Grove in Cedar Grove, NJ. This event is our largest fundraiser of the year and is a time to come together and support the children of The Valerie Fund for the following year. We have a collection of some of our favorite photos from the night for you to enjoy.
The night held many exciting moments including our 2019 Valerie Fund Ambassadors introducing themselves on stage, our honorees talking about their connections to The Valerie Fund, live and silent auctions, a photo booth, and a night of dancing. Check out some of our favorite moments from the night below or you can click here to view the full gallery.
