LATELEGACYScore yet another record-breaker for the Make a Difference
Gala team. Last year’s attendance and fundraising records got smashed
once again after more than 500 donors raised approximately $1.6 million for
Life with Cancer, The Smith Center for Healing and the Arts and the Brem
Foundation to Defeat Breast Cancer (bringing the cumulative total of the gala
since inception to $9 million). The crowd was particularly generous during
the 10-minute “Fund a Need” portion of the evening, donating $160,000
right on the spot. The gala continues to reduce its cost, allowing a record
breaking 85 percent of the proceeds to be sent to the beneficiaries. OTHER
SUPPORTERS: Ted and Lynn Leonsis, Raul and Jean-Marie Fernandez,
Neil and Marcy Cohen, Steve and Marie Schram, John and Mona Oswald,
Gina Adams, Michelle Freeman and Scott and Patrice Brickman.
