About our 2014 Gala on the Hornblower Hybrid:
Over 200 Playhouse supporters and fans came out on the beautiful Hornblower Hybrid cruise ship, which circled the statue of liberty in the twilight of a beautiful March evening. It was a star-studded evening, to be sure: Chris Wragge of CBS 2, mingled with the new champion of the Down syndrome community, Jimmy Jenson. Jimmy accepted an award in his honor with touching composure and grace.
Jennifer Davis, Jimmy's running partner and supervisor at his assisted living community, was elegant in a floor length red dress.
Jason Kingsely, author of Count Us In was there with his stylish mom, Emily Perl Kingsley, Sesame Street producer/writer and author of Welcome to Holland.
Notably, the highest grossing auction item was original art by individuals with Down syndrome who participate in our weekly Gratitude Committee volunteer program. Talk about Gratitude!
