2008 Fairy Tale Ball

The Childcare Resources Junior Board hosted the 2nd annual Fairy Tale Ball, a magical event that drew record crowds and raised funds to benefit children and families served by Childcare Resources.

Among the highlights of the evening were a royal “conga line” honoring event sponsors, a vocal performance of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz, and the Awakening of Sleeping Beauty by Prince Charming.

The evening not only brought smiles to the faces who attended, but also supported Childcare Resources programs that bring smiles and bright futures to children throughout central Alabama. THANKS to all who made this possible

A special thanks goes to the 2008 Fairy Tale Ball Sponsors!!
