The crème de la crème of the Toronto society scene fluttered to the Four Seasons last Thursday for the super-swanky Butterfly Ball. Heading up the clan on the co-chair side was the powerhouse foursome of Suzanne Rogers, Daniela DeGasperis, Vanessa Mulroney and Jennen Phelan, while John Tory played emcee and Ben Mulroney tested out a new gig as an auctioneer. The evening raised more than $250,000 for Boost Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention, an organization that works to eliminate abuse and violence in the lives of children, youth, and their families.
