Ball fights child abuse

The Children’s Ball, “A Night in New Orleans,” will be hosted by Community Services for Children on September 13, 2014, at the Lehigh Country Club, from 6 to 9 pm. $100 ($195 for a couple) includes reception, dinner, New Orleans-style street fair, jazz, photo booth, dancing and auction.

The special Live Auction features autographed items from Hall of Famer Andre Reid and Phantoms tickets and paraphernalia. Susan Bella has donated beautiful jewelry for the Magic Key Box.

Proceeds from the 2014 Children’s Ball will support the Donley Family Infant Center. The Center is a new treatment facility that provides daily treatment for babies who have been abused and neglected and works toward stopping repeat abuse. It is the only such treatment program in Pennsylvania.
