Create a new holiday tradition for your family and make a difference by helping children in our community. Join your friends at Pittsburgh Mercy Health System for the 8th Annual Reindeer Ball, a spectacular holiday children's gala, Sunday, Dec. 4, 2011, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Westin Convention Center Hotel, Downtown. Dance along with Madeline, Clifford, Curious George, Junie B. Jones, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, and other favorite characters to “A Storybook Christmas.” Craft awesome art projects, decorate holiday cookies, and enjoy face painting, balloon and caricature artists, a child-friendly buffet, and more. Proceeds from the evening benefit A Child's Place at Mercy, an invaluable Pittsburgh Mercy Health System advocacy program that serves children who are suspected victims of child abuse and/or neglect, as well as children in foster care. The program relies on the generous support of private individuals to help achieve its mission. Tickets are $80 for adults and $45 for children.
