GALA 2007
Summary
On Saturday, November 10th, the ballroom of the Dulles Hilton was transformed into a sea of people who gathered for the 4th Annual Divine Mercy Care Gala. The highlight of the evening was the keynote speech by Dr. John Bruchalski, the founder of Tepeyac Family Center and the Chairman of the Divine Mercy Care Board of Director. He outlined the plans to expand Divine Mercy Care beyond Tepeyac as the need to authentic Catholic health care is rampant in Northern Virginia, and physicians are streaming to Divine Mercy Care seeking employment. The Gala introduced Dr. Jennifer Brown and Dr. Lorna Cvekovich, two new OB-GYNs. Two other OB-GYNs from around the country were also in the audience.
Auction
Auctioneer Father Peter Nassetta was at his best as he drove a bid for dinner with the Bruchalski's up to $6,500. The loser was so amazed that he could win at $6,000 that he offered to pay another $6,000 if the same dinner could be provided.
Video Tribute
A video tribute designed and produced by Tepeyac patients highlighted the impact that Tepeyac had on their lives, and can be viewed here.
