Impression made! The young organizers of the annual Sainte-Justine’s Ball “ The Grown-up’s Ball For Children”, did it again this year, wowing a record-breaking number of styling attendees (over 1200!) with an art-drenched, sky-high cool fete-a-ganza at new hot venue Alexandra Pier. It people and celebs were partout (revelling in the food & fun) helping the superstar organizing squad raise record-breaking funds: $293,000 towards the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation’s financing of the hospital’s Centre of Excellence in Neonatology. Told ya it was good. Photography DAN PROKOPOWICZ with several by EVA PHOTO, JF GALIPEAU .
