Guests, all dressed in their very best, gathered at the posh St. Paul Hotel. They enjoyed a cocktail reception, a sit-down dinner, dancing and a champagne toast all to support a very humble but necessary garment: the diaper. Proceeds from the Victory Gala went to the Diaper Drive, a locally based organization that serves needy families. The drive, which was started in 2010 by Twin Cities mother Kristin Grode, is now serving outstate Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota.
