Arsht Residence, Miami

Nearly 1,000 guests came out to celebrate 25 years of CHARLEE Home for Children. The celebration was a true feast for the eyes and the senses. The event, which was a take on the 1971 film Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, transformed a 5-acre home into a chocolate and candy wonderland. Event chair Paula Brockway and caterer Lasso the Moon outdid themselves in the art direction to give every guest a fantasy moment. Chocolate fountains, a lollipop lane, Camp CHARLEE activities, magic shows and so much more were the highlights of the day, which also included a raffle drawing for an adorable convertible smart car and a wonderful silent auction. Laurie Jennings served as Mistress of Ceremonies.
