Held Saturday, Sept. 8, the 15th annual Players Ball served as the organization’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Guests were delighted to see celebrity impersonators dressed as Cher, Marilyn Monroe, Madonna and Frank Sinatra, and perused dozens of auction items while enjoying cocktails.

Bridges of Light raises money for children who have been abandoned, abused neglected or at-risk, and provides them with bridges to education, basic needs and more.
