       The Fuller Center’s Annual Wee Dream Ball Raised



      $1 Million And Celebrated The Agency’s 50th Anniversary



         The Fuller Center held its Annual Wee Dream Ball, the
      organization’s signature fundraiser, on Friday, Dec. 3 at Boca
      West Country Club. The event raised $1 million that will help
      to sustain the organization and carry the promise of its mission
      and vision forward. Event cochairs were Fuller Center Board
      President Simone Spiegel and Foundation Board President Peg
      Anderson, with fellow Fuller Center Board members Hiromi
      Printz and David Clark serving as honorary chairs.
         Cocktail hour included the ever-popular Neiman Marcus
      Chance Game and an elevated Silent Auction followed by
      dinner and dancing to the Chase band. The evening concluded
      with a special 50th Anniversary presentation, during which
      Peggy Henry Van Dorp was honored for her significant
      impact to the organization and named the Inaugural Legacy                                                      Mike and Amy Kazma, Heidi Johnson Adams,
      Society Honoree.                                   Dr. John Westine, Gail Wasserman  Wendy and Matthew Maschler  Peggy Henry Van Dorp
         “We are so grateful for the unwavering kindness and
      commitment of our supporters who believe in investing in
      our children and families, securing our future,” said Fuller
      Center CEO Ellyn Okrent.
         Woven throughout the evening were special video
      presentations representing the past, present, and future of
      the agency. Joshua McMann, a 24-year-old Fuller Center
      alumnus who was featured in the “past” video and in
      attendance with his mother Leondra remarked, “The center
      believed in me and gave me hope. Without the Fuller Center,
      I could have been on a very different path like other men
      my age.” Josh is now a youth pastor and a preschool teacher
      in Nashville, and a true testament to the power of early
      childhood education.
