Little Smiles 19th Annual Stars Ball

Under The Big Top: A Night Of Magic

Celebrating 25 Years Of

Helping Kids Be Kids During

Difficult Times

The Little Smiles 19th Annual Stars Ball, held on October
5, transformed the Hilton in downtown West Palm Beach
into a magical circus “Under the Big Top.” This year’s event,
attended by 450 guests, celebrated twelve incredible children
who were nominated as “Stars” by the facilities where they
receive treatment. It was a night of festivities and community,
all to support Little Smiles’ mission of helping kids be kids
during difficult times.
The evening blended circus magic with Hollywood
glamour, beginning with the grand entrance of the Stars,
announced by Virginia Sinicki, Kevin Rolston, and Jason
Pennington of the KVJ Show 97.9 WRMF. Dressed to
impress, the Stars were escorted down the red carpet, basking
in the spotlight and signing autographs as fans cheered them
on. Accompanied by music from Digital Vibez, they made
their way to center stage, where the KVJ Show 97.9 WRMF
hosts celebrated each Star with enthusiasm.
