On Friday, November 8, the Order of Malta’s St. John Committee held their annual White Cross Ball of New York City in support of the Order’s global humanitarian efforts. The sold-out evening brought together nearly 500 guests for drinks, dinner, and dancing.

The Ball raised critical funds for Malteser International, the Order of Malta’s humanitarian relief agency; the Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem, a charity maternity and neonatal hospital providing the highest level of obstetric and newborn care in the Bethlehem region of the West Bank regardless of religion, race, or ability to pay; and Malta Camp USA, a life-changing, five-day camp for disabled adults from across America. Following dinner, guests hit the dance floor to music from the D.J.
