|
Gilda’s Club New York City’s 15th Annual Benefit Gala Celebrating Our Family – Our Commitment to Community held on November 19th at the Pierre Hotel was a huge success and raised 11% more this year to help keep our program free for members.
We welcomed many new family members, especially our honorees, Richard T. Clark, Chairman, President and CEO, Merck & Co., Inc. and Dr. David A. Scheinberg, Chairman, Molecular Pharmacology and Chemistry Program, Sloan-Kettering Institute. A special presentation of “The Bill Modell Heart of Gold Award” was made to the Concerned Women of the Grove for their ongoing support over the last decade.
Our heartfelt thanks to Diana Williams for hosting, Mary Jo Otsea of Sotheby’s who conducted a lively auction and to GCNYC member Victoria Castellano for sharing her story with us.
Special thanks to our gala and dinner chairs, Dr. Sol J. Barer, Robert J. Easton and Ann Russo.
Thank you to our board, dinner committee, volunteers, staff and all our sponsors for helping to make this benefit successful – we couldn’t have done it without you. Welcome to the family – click here for a full list of our sponsors & donors.
We look forward to seeing you all again on November 18, 2010 for our 16th Annual Gala – please save the date!
