At the Unicef Children's Champion Award Dinner on June 10, guests partook in a family-style celebration at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. The U.S. Fund for Unicef worked with the evening's co-chairs and Rafanelli Events to bring a bit of Guatemala into the museum's courtyard, where decor was inspired by the textures and colors of Guatemalan fabrics. And at each place setting, napkins were hand-woven by Guatemalan artisans.
The dinner took place below the museum's "To Boston With Love" exhibit, which created festive and poignant bunting. The installation of more than 1,600 hand-sewn flags was created by quilters from nearly every state in America, as well as from countries around the world. Featuring inspirational images of love, peace, and hope, some of the flags contain iconic Boston images such as the "B" logo for the Boston Red Sox, the phrase "Boston Strong," and the Citgo sign.
