Making Miracles Happen Gala
The Making Miracles Happen Gala was a wonderful success, raising nearly $500,000 for our Thoracic Oncology services. The sell-out crowd enjoyed the new venue, interactive experiences, outdoor patio, luxury raffle, and sweet sounds of the XS Band.
A highlight of the evening was the story of Bett DeSantis - pictured here with her husband Bob and Drs. Kachala and Magge - a grateful patient, who shared her journey following a surprise lung diagnosis. Through a featured video, link below, guests learned about her experience and the providers, nurses, technicians and support staff who cared for her throughout that journey.
We are truly grateful to our sponsors, guests, leadership, and volunteers for their support and commitment to our mission and the health of our communities.
