| The Atlanta Ballet hosted the annual Atlanta Ballet Ball February 16, 2008 at the Piedmont Driving Club. Chaired by Mary Frances Garrett, this year’s theme was A Masquerade in celebration of the company’s performance of Romeo & Juliet at the Fox Theatre at the beginning of February. As the Atlanta Ballet’s largest fundraiser, this year’s Ballet Ball grossed over $360,000 for the Centre for Dance Education and its outreach programs.
This year’s honoree was Karen Vereb, an Atlanta Ballet Board Member and long time supporter.
