More than 900 guests attended the 60^th Annual Heart Ball at the Phoenician. Bluemedia and Marx Productions created the stunning décor of cream and charcoal with hints of silver and rose gold. For the black-tie occasion, many of the female guests wore gowns in metallic sequins, cream or white, and all-white floral arrangements in the cocktail and dinner settings helped carry out the color scheme. Phat Strads Duo, West Coast Music of Beverly Hills and DJ Mr. P-Body provided the entertainment. Following dinner, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas hosted the after-party.

Kristine Thompson chaired the elegant evening, raising more than $2.5 million to benefit the American Heart Association. Charlene Berge-Blum and Amanda Garmany served as vice-chairmen; Jennifer Moser, chair-elect; Sandy Magruder (Thompson’s mother), Heart Ball Sweetheart; and Priscilla and Michael Nicholas, honorary chairmen.
