Highlights from Roaring 20's Gala 2011

On Saturday, November 19, 2011, the St. Francis Hospital community gathered together for a roaring event. With the theme, "Roaring 20's" the evening was a spectacular celebration for friends, neighbors and staff in support of the Hospital. The gala was chaired by Jerry Della Femina, Chairman & CEO of Della Femina Advertising. Debra and Claudio Del Vecchio of Brooks Brothers were the evening's honorees.

This was a very special celebration for the St. Francis Hospital community, one which we have been anticipating since embarking upon our Master Facilities Plan in 2005. It marked the end of our capital campaign to raise funds for the project and presented an opportunity for us to reflect upon all that we have accomplished in that time. We are exceptionally proud to announce that, as of Saturday evening, we have raised a total of $70 million, making this the most successful campaign in St. Francis Hospital's history.
