On May 22, more than 400 guests gathered at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel for the 26th annual Butterfly Ball. The black-tie gala is Boost Child & Youth Advocacy Centre’s signature event to raise funds for programs and services to help children who have experienced abuse. Event co-chairs Claire MacNamara and Trish Del Sorbo started the evening with passionate speeches following the musical performance. This year’s Jonathan and Georgia Aune award recipients were Vanessa and Mark Mulroney and Luke Leon. A live auction helped to raise more than $1.2 million.
