LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
The Echelon Club's Founder, Kimberly Moore welcomed special
guests, Music Impresario Quincy Jones, Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Count
Maximilian von Bismarck, and many more to a French-themed "Fleur de
Lys Dinner" honoring the Brave Kids Charity. The event took place in
the magical ambience of the Hadid Bel Air estate and included a night
of delectable dining prepared by celebrity chef, Jack Lee, musical
performances by Cindy Gomez and Ashlee Willis, and a gathering of the
"whose who" of LA's society.

   "It's an honor for Echelon to be able to support such an important
cause," says Kimberly Moore. "The purpose of Echelon is to help raise
awareness for charities like Brave Kids which are making a profound
difference in the lives of innocent children. `La Fleur de Lys'
represents purity, innocence, and peace symbolizing the children who
benefit from this amazing cause."

   Brave Kids was founded by Kristen Fitzgerald after the loss of her
own two children to rare degenerative neurological disorders. She
created the BraveKids.org website to solve the problems she faced when
her own children were seriously ill. The Bravekids.org site allows
parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers the opportunity to
locate medical resources and information on more than fifty childhood
illnesses and conditions from one location and provides message boards
for parents of children with special needs to connect with one
another.

   Brave Kids also provides resource centers to children's hospitals
to help parents locate pediatric medical information and resources for
their ill children while they are in the hospital. "Over 50,000
children were admitted to hospitals in Los Angeles last year," said
founder Kristen Fitzgerald. "I am so fortunate to have the support of
such a caring organization such as The Echelon Club. Together we can
give these needy children the bright future they deserve."

   The Echelon Club is an invitation-only organization that has
supported numerous global charities by gathering its influential
members from around the world using its creative energy to raise
awareness and proceeds for a variety of charitable programs. For more
