| WOW! Super thanks to all of our caped crusaders - sponsors, guests, supporters and friends - who helped make the first-ever Marbles Superheroes Ball a stellar success! More than 250 guests celebrated the power of play and recognized two local superheroes for their contributions to kids in our community, Laura Aiken, Director of Advocates for Health in Action, and Danny Rosin, President and co-founder of Band Together. And the gala grossed $46,000 for the Imagination Fund at Marbles, where the power of play is shaping tomorrow's dreamers, innovators, artists and achievers.
Save the Date to Save the Day!
Mark your calendar now for the 2011 Marbles Superheroes Ball on Saturday, May 14.
