The American Lung Association’s inaugural Oxygen Ball filled downtown Minneapolis’ Muse Event Center for an evening dedicated to celebrating breath and clean air.
The fundraising event included live and silent auctions and a signature blue martini, the Oxygen Chiller.
Before dinner, complete with ice sculpture centerpieces on each table, hors d’oeuvres were distributed by body-painted servers in artistically created costumes — breathing a breath of fresh air into the Oxygen Ball.
