SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Nicklaus Children’s Hospital hosted a special night to remember for its patients.

The 3rd annual Carlin Family Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Prom took place at its location near Southwest 62nd Avenue and 31st Street.

The special dance party gave nearly 100 patients and their guests a chance to forget about illness, and enjoy a night of dancing and fun. “I love how they have these events to help us reunite with each other and kind of forget all the sad things we’ve been through and all the tough times,” said attendee Melanie Mederos.

“It just brings us so much joy,” said event organizer Adam Carlin. “This is something we plan on doing forever and ever.”

The event was decorated with an enchanted “Once Upon a Time” theme, complete with a red carpet to show off everyone’s stylish looks.
