BEATING THE WINTER BLUES

    About 250 supporters of LGBT grantmaking agency Sapphire Fund turned out for the agency’s first annual Sapphire Ball Jan. 27 at the Franklin Institute. The event was the cornerstone of Sapphire Weekend, a series of fundraising events that replaced the former Blue Ball Weekend. The revamped ball featured a live band, dancing, food and drinks. Fundraising totals were not yet available. Photo: Scott Drake
