Although Miss America, Teresa Scanlan, was in town to attend our Walmart and Sam's Club Celebration, she spent all day Friday visiting our sponsors and making people smile. She is truly a beautiful person and is a wonderful ambassador for Children's MIracle Network Hospitals.

The Hottest New Years Eve Party in Orlando was definitely the Sunglass Soiree hosted by the Orlando World Center Marriott. A cocktail reception and silent auction kicked off the evening. Dinner and dancing followed until the confetti cannons exploded at midnight to ring in 2011. A 9-piece band, The Malones, provided incredible entertainment throughout the evening. A special guest appearance by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals co-founder, John Schneider topped off the event. Save the date! We will ring in 2012 together again.
