N.C. Children's Hospital's annual gala, Run for the Promise, a grand success


The N.C. Children's Promise Gala 2009

Thank you to everyone who attended the third annual N.C. Children's Hospital Gala—Run for the Promise—on Saturday, May 2. Attended by more than 300 people, this year's Gala was an elegant Kentucky Derby party, done N.C.-style, to benefit N.C. Children's Hospital.

Picturesque setting. Delicious food. Lively entertainment. Terrific company. There was something for everyone at this year's Gala. We hope this is the beginning of a new Derby Day tradition.

A special thank you to our generous Gala sponsors and those who donated items for the raffle and silent auction. We're still in the process of calculating the total raised at the Gala, but we anticipate that this was the most successful Gala event yet. Stay tuned for more details . . .
