Miami, FL – November 2, 2013 – What’s your wish? If it was for an awesome Saturday night out at the 19th Annual Intercontinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball, then your wish was granted. This year, recording artist Adam Lambert and actress Gabrielle Anwar headlined the event with designer Traver Rains debuting his collection at the Intercontinental Make-A-Wish Nightclub. The event, which in its history has raised more than $12.3 million, enough to grant the wishes of 2,620 kids with life-threatening medical conditions, drew in the likes of Shareef Malnik, Robert Hill, Norman Wedderburn, Don King, Flo Rida, Lea Black and Helio Casanovas.

Intercontinental Make-A-Wish Nightclub

The sold-out event was followed by an after party, where a Vaudevillian theme and designer Traver Rains’ “La Nuit Magique” fashion show transported guests back to the ’30s in a night to remember. For the sixth year in a row, Michael Capponi of The Capponi Group lead the official Ball after-party at the InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Nightclub that was set in an ” Old World Magic and Illusion” theme.
