K2 Productions was honored to capture all the amazing and touching moments of the National Cinderella Ball in DC. The event was hosted by the multi talented Jamie Foxx.

Here are some excerpts from the Washington Post write up for more on the event:

The annual event celebrates military-connected children living with special needs or a life-threatening illness such as Quetlanetzi, who suffers from a rare condition that affects the blood vessels in her brain. Much of her life revolves around hospitals and doctor visits.

The ball is organized by the House Inc. Student Leadership Center, an education nonprofit group focused on youth development. “It makes me realize moments like these are not to be taken for granted,” he said.

The Virginia-based organization founded by Helen McCormick organizes the ball as part of the House’s public service initiative. Every year, the House brings children from across the Washington region to their before- and after-school programs and summer programs to offer support and guide them from grade school through graduation.

The House Inc. students, many of whom face obstacles in graduating from high school, are expected to help plan and host the charity ball honoring children who are not often cheered on by their peers or may never have a prom of their own, said Berthina Jamison, whose 25-year-old daughter Jessica has Down syndrome.

The event is in its 13th year.

“You can just feel the love,” said Jamison, whose family has attended since 2013. “The House is teaching their students the importance of inclusion and what it is to be kind.”

“Keep it going!” Foxx said as the audience clapped for the scholarship winners, among whom was Dartmouth College varsity basketball player Amber Mixon — one of the thousands of students to have graduated from the program.

Foxx lit up the room, inviting guests on stage to dance and sing alongside him. Jonell Vaughn, 20, who woke up blind after falling into a coma as a child, didn’t hesitate when the Academy Award winner pointed his way and motioned for him to come on stage — which Vaughn did after his mother, who was sitting next to him, told him what Foxx had done.

Foxx led the guests in several songs, danced alongside the kids on stage and hosted a dance-off between Marines before inviting everyone onto their feet.
