3rd Annual Masquerade Ball in Stamford benefits HELP for Kids

The Exchange Club of Stamford hosts its 3rd Annual Masquerade Ball, Saturday, November 17 at 6:30 pm, at The Sheraton Stamford Hotel.  The Venetian-style, fancy dress evening benefits HELP for Kids, the non-profit that builds safer, smarter and stronger families - protecting local children by halting the cycle of child abuse and neglect.  

Ball-goers will don festive masks and attire for a fabulous night of fundraising, featuring a sit-down dinner and dancing to Summertime Band.  Prominent Stamford Attorney Vincent J. Freccia III will be honored for his dedicated service to the Stamford area and his commitment to child abuse prevention. Other highlights will be the popular, red carpet photo booth sponsored by Stewart Title Guaranty Company, raffles, and a silent auction of unique experiences for all ages, luxury items, sought-after dining certificates, performances and classes, pampering services, and much more.

“Our Masquerade Ball is a night of fun supporting HELP for Kids’ mission of safeguarding children from abuse and building stronger, more loving families,“ says Chairperson Cristina Andreana. “The Exchange Club of Stamford is proud to raise awareness and vital funding for these life-changing programs.” She invites community members to email her, at cristina@actcpa.com, with questions about attending or sponsoring this year’s Ball. 

Celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2019, HELP for Kids keeps local children safe while working to build stronger, more resilient, and more loving families. The Stamford-based non-profit agency has assisted over 10,000 Fairfield County children since its founding and serves hundreds of at-risk families every year.  Experienced parent educators work closely with individual families to provide research-based, home-centered intervention programs and teach safe-parenting skills - an approach that is highly-effective at halting the cycle of child abuse and neglect.
