Mes Papillons’Butterflies in Bloom First Annual Fundraising Gala ‘23

Written By Mes Papillons Foundation

Our first annual fundraising gala was such a classy affair and success. Upon entrance on the beautiful campus of Chapel in the Woods, soulfully-rhythmic music filled the air as The Mack Band skillfully played classic tunes. Although it threatened to storm that night, every single table was filled with supporters who mingled and laughed with one another. A good time was had by all!

Our Founder and Executive director Dr. Francemise Kingsberry and Board member Hassan Kingsberry shared the vision and purpose for Mes Papillons Foundation. Kingsberry encouraged everyone present to live their best life as he shared about his two daughters, Amira and Kelyn, battle with Niemann-Pick C.
