Around 450 guests gathered in the Red Oak Ballroom at CityCentre to dine and dance at Cinderella Ball 2018 in support of Houston’s Friends of Down Syndrome. The nonprofit organization exceeded its goal and raised more than $180,000. Gwendolyn Friedman (pictured) was escorted into the ball by a cadet from the Tomball Memorial High School Marine Corps ROTC. Gwendolyn is a student at the Friends of Down Syndrome’s Down Syndrome Academy. See friendsofdownsyndrome.org.
