STORY TOOLS 
More from Conejo ValleyOn May 10th the Muscular Dystrophy Association hosted its 22nd Annual A Night Under the Stars Black and White Ball at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
This year's Karen Brown Courage Award was presented to 11 year old Jordan Balla, a current MDA client and camper. The 2008 SuperNova Award went to CBS 2 Sports Anchor Jim Hill, and the most prestigious award of the evening, the Humanitarian Award was received by Brett Ellen, Founder and President of American Financial Network. Brett was recognized in front of his family and friends for his philanthropic endeavors and dedication towards making a difference.
Aside from the awards ceremony and dinner, there was also a live and silent auction, dancing and entertainment. The evening raised enough funds to send more then 30 kids to the Muscular Dystrophy Associations summer camp.
