John Forslund, play-by-play announcer for the Carolina Hurricanes, emceed the gala benefiting the Marbles Kids Museum Imagination Fund. More than 250 guests celebrated two local superheroes for their contributions to kids in our community. The inaugural Superheroes for Kids are Laura Aiken, Director of Advocates for Health in Action, and Danny Rosin, President and co-founder of Band Together.




Laura Aiken is recognized as a Superhero for Kids for her work as the Director of Advocates for Health in Action, a collaborative of over 50 organizations and community members working to increase access to healthful food and physical activity to combat childhood obesity in Wake County.

As President and co-founder of Band Together, a 100% volunteer organization that raises funds and awareness for local charities through live concert events, Danny Rosin has helped to donate more than $1 million dollars since its founding in 2001.




In addition to recognizing the inspiring work of Laura and Danny, guests – many dressed as their superhero selves – enjoyed a seated dinner provided by Rocky Top Catering, muscled up to bid in the live auction and danced the night away to live music by Canady Thomas and Brickhouse. And super stunts and surprises abound by Air Born Aierial Arts.

All proceeds from the gala ticket sales, live auction and raffle benefit the Imagination Fund at Marbles Kids Museum, where the power of play is shaping tomorrow’s dreamers, innovators, artists and achievers.
