2009 faces Gala
Over 620 guests joined us at the 2009 faces Gala. This annual event, held at Chelsea Piers on Tuesday, March 10th, is the largest fundraising activity that faces organizes. The festivities began with the silent auction during the cocktail reception. The program then kicked-off with sports star, Tiki Barber, followed by Dean Robert Grossman of NYU Langone Medical Center who, with Dr. Orrin Devinsky, offered their thanks to the gala leadership and the many contributors for their support. The evening’s honoree, Dr. Blanca Vazquez was then honored and awarded with the establishment of the Blanca Vazquez Summer Camp Scholarship Program.
In total, the Gala’s silent and live auctions, dinner tables and tickets sold, Journal adds sold, as well as the many contributions, raised over $2.9 million for faces and for the many research and community projects it supports.
