Location 3 Magazine - Dec. 3, 2007

A mix of glam and grace aptly described The Beckstrand Cancer Foundation's 2007 The Diamond & Pearl Ball. Gala chairs, Kirsten Prosser, Joni D'Amato, Tami Kahn and committee members transformed the Balboa Bay Club into an exotic Evening in the Orient. Deep red and gold hues dominated the decor.
