‘Arabian Nights’ at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital

Hollywood, Florida – A group of teenage patients at a South Florida hospital enjoyed a night to remember in Hollywood.

The young revelers at a Prom to Remember, held Friday night at the Memorial Regional Hospital Conference Center.

This year’s gala, hosted by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, had an “Arabian Nights” theme.

At least for one magical evening, the annual event gives patients who may have been unable to attend their high school prom a chance to dress up and dance the night away with friends, and hopefully forget their medical issues.
