Beaux Arts Ball a Winter Wonderland

National Jewish Health will hold its signature Denver gala, the annual Beaux Arts Ball, on Feb. 21, 2009.  The Hyatt Regency Denver will be transformed into a sparkling Winter Wonderland with an entertainment troupe from New York proving live entertainment throughout the evening and the acclaimed live band from Los Angeles, Haute Chile, providing dance music to heat up the dance floor after a sumptuous dinner.

Denver's elite in white-tie attire will enjoy the delicious food, cocktails and entertainment from the East and West Coasts while raising funds to support the vital research, clinical and educational programs at National Jewish Health.  Last year the gala raised more than $2 million.
