Sweet Journey 17 Co-Founders Attend Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Diamond Ball

Sweet Journey 17 Co-Founders Melissa and Alex Ehrenthal were honored to attend the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Diamond Ball, an inspiring evening celebrating the power of philanthropy and the shared commitment to improving the lives of children and families facing medical challenges.

Having experienced firsthand the emotional and financial burdens of an extended pediatric hospitalization, Melissa and Alex share a deeply personal connection to this mission. In addition to attending, they were proud to make a meaningful personal contribution in support of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and the extraordinary work it does for children and families.

As they continue building Sweet Journey 17 and carrying forward Ariana’s vision, Melissa and Alex remain committed to supporting organizations that share their passion for pediatric care and family-centered support. They look forward to fostering meaningful relationships and exploring future partnerships that can help ease the burdens families face during their child’s medical journey.

Together, we can create a community of compassion where more families can simply say, “I can stay.”

Being There Is Everything.
