This year, after 14 years of parties filled with children’s delights, the Wender Weis Foundation for Children held its annual benefit event for adults only. The setting was the very grown-up penthouse suite of San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel. But still, the kids dominated the agenda. Wender Weis Foundation donated 100 percent of the proceeds to special holiday parties for children in need at five local charities.
