The guests at the Sparkles and Spurs Winter Ball were treated to a glittery, glamorous, Western-themed evening at the Marriott Hotel City Center in downtown Minneapolis.

The event was sponsored by Wishes & More, a charity that provides children fighting terminal or life-threatening conditions wishes, scholarships, memorials and more.

More than 700 guests gathered to remember and celebrate the lives of the special kids and their families who benefited from Wishes & More grants.
