ALLEGRO SERVES UP TURKISH TWIST
The Allegro Foundation held its third annual Ambassador's Ball at Felix Sabates' Mercedes- Benz of South Charlotte dealership on Jan. 21.
The event drew about 250 guests and welcomed honorary chairs, the ambassador of Turkey to the United States, Namik Tan, and his wife, Fügen Tan. Transformed through exquisite decorations, the site reflected the beauty of Turkey.
Presented by Wells Fargo, the event raised funds for the foundation, which helps children with disabilities.
