Senator Scott Brown (R-MA, at left) might have stolen the show, but it’s tough to compete with an American Idol and a roomful of men in uniform.
Brown was on-board (so much so that he was greeting guests and pointing out the coat closet!) for both the cause and the spirit of celebration Thursday evening at the City Tavern Club for the American Heroes Ball, a night in recognition of Veteran’s Day and to support the Wounded Warrior Project.
The inaugural event featured a live performance by American Idol Finalist Ayla Brown – yes, that Scott’s own daughter (above left) – and her band from Nashville, playing original tunes and some covered country favorites. Chair Philip Ballard joined guests David Miller, Cherie Short, Seda Atam, Caroline McMillan, and Jim McInerney for drinks, dancing and a silent auction of coveted prizes, like Philadelphia 76ers basketball tickets, spa baskets, an I.Gorman necklace and a private tour of the Capitol… by Senator Scott Brown!
