Last night was the 20th Annual FARE Ball to help raise funds and awareness for children and adults with food allergies.
I was so excited that Sharon Mann was receiving the Founders Award for all her hard work. I still remember the first time we meet with Mary Kennedy and her passion that was the driving force behind this annual event.
Charles Masson received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his commitment to excellence and compassion for diners with food allergies. I have been lucky enough to have worked with Charles photographing and documenting his life with both food and flowers and one of my portraits of him at Majorelle was used on the menu. It was great to see him there with his beautiful wife Christina and his talented artist son Charlie.
Walt Disney Parks and Restoration received the award as Corporate Dinner Honoree for their work in making sure children with allergies are taken special care of at all the parks food concessions and restaurants.
