Butterflies in Bloom Mes Papillons Foundation’s First Annual Gala 2023

Our first annual fundraising gala was such a classy affair and success. Upon entrance on the beautiful campus of Chapel in the Woods, soulfully-rhythmic music filled the air as The Mack Band skillfully played classic tunes. Although it threatened to storm that night, every single table was filled with supporters who mingled and laughed with one another. A good time was had by all!

Our Founder and Executive director Dr. Francemise Kingsberry and Board member Hassan Kingsberry shared the vision and purpose for Mes Papillons Foundation. Kingsberry encouraged everyone present to live their best life as he shared about his two daughters, Amira and Kelyn, battle with Niemann-Pick C.

We are so grateful to all of our sponsors and silent auction contributors! Your generosity will help us in accomplishing our mission of supporting families of children with rare diseases.

We hope that you will enjoy the pictures from this wonderful occasion and plan to join us at next year’s gala on April 6th, 2024!
