Hibiscus Children’s Center “Candlelight Ball”
Brightening the Lives of Youth
Vero Beach – The Hibiscus Children’s Center “Candlelight Ball” is the annual premier Gala event in Vero Beach this season! This charming event will be held on Friday, December 10, 2021 at 6PM at the beautiful Bellewood Plantation. Please join us as we celebrate the season with an enchanting evening outdoors surrounded by Southern elegance, charm and the warm glow of candlelight to benefit the youth living at the Hibiscus Village. Upon arrival at 6PM, guests will enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by a delightful dinner presented by Wild Thyme Catering. Guests will also have the chance to dance the night away with the dazzling musical performance of the Gypsy Lane Band.
The festivities…the charming ambience…the entertainment…you will have to be there to experience it all – under the romantic light of our “Candlelight Ball”! Event proceeds benefit the abused, neglected and abandoned youth living at the Hibiscus Village in Vero Beach and will help provide medical and educational services, professional therapeutic counseling and career training. Your support will help transform their lives and build a strong foundation for the future.

A virtual auction of treasures will entice everyone from unique jewelry pieces, to home decorating items, to area restaurant gift certificates, to sports packages, to services enhancing our daily life, and more.
