St. Pete Glitter Queens’ Ball
The seventh annual Royal Ball of the St. Pete Glitter Queens raised funds for Starting Right, Now, which aids unaccompanied
homeless teenagers by helping them feel hope and love. The fun Copa Caliente-themed evening celebrated a sultry night in
Old Havana. The Glitter Queens work together for charitable causes and donate to deserving women’s or children’s groups, as
they network socially and make a difference in the lives of others.
