Designed and produced by event planner Norma Cohen, the gala greeted guests by an entryway flooded with candles, blue metallic accents and violinists. The cocktail hour was set to a string quartet and a multi piece band greeted guests as they entered the extravagant ballroom of blue aesthetic, reflective of the “Moonlight Gala” thematic.    Following dinner, a touching video presentation by CARE founders Meyer Safdieh with his wife Victoria Safdieh took place, followed by the live auction, remarks by host Michael Cayre, and a an incredible performance by Grammy winning recording artist Miguel to close out the evening’s programming, before transitioning into the after party space.   CARE's Mission is to help parents of children with autism, seizures, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, development delay and undiagnosed disorders. Families turn to CARE as the multitude of challenges affect them and their family for the first step. They meet with each family and customize a plan, offering emotional and material support, holding their hand through their journey, offering grants to qualifying families. Some examples of support include school placement guidance, volunteers to the home, counseling referrals and support groups, assisting to coordinate state funding for the families with nursing, SSI, comhab and more, help secure eligibility for the government services and programs, etc.   For more information on CARE visit them at www.careforspecial.org and follow on social media @careforspecialchildren.
