Masquerade gala raises money for children entering foster care

Myra’s Masquerade Charity Gala took place Friday night at City Club in downtown Raleigh.

Myra’s Angels Foundation creates care packages for children entering foster care, providing kids with essentials and comforting items like stuffed animals and journals.

The event raised tens of thousands of dollars for the cause, according to organizers.

WRAL’s Keely Arthur was the emcee of the event.

Those wishing to donate an essential item or toy for a child this holiday season may do so here.
