Hearts Of Gold Gala 2019
We are so incredibly excited to share with you all that our first ever Hearts of Gold Gala raised a whopping $68,737.46 (and counting)!!!! We well exceeded our $50k goal and all in all we are over the moon with your generosity, love, & your support of our foundation and this first ever Gala event!!!
To say the evening was special is an incredible understatement. We feel so blessed by every moment and by each of you who joined us. Everything from our Honorary Family Patrick, Linda, and Matthew McDonnell sharing their connection with the Green family, what the REST trial has meant to their family, and presenting a check from their foundation Matthews Hope 4 Miracles to Dr. Dome to help contribute to the financial support for this trial to continue for other kids, to the live auction bidding with professional auctioneer HL Wenger and finishing off the evening with your incredibly generous paddle raise donations!
We had a wonderful time and hope each of you who joined us did as well!!
A huge Congratulations to each of our Hearts of Gold Volunteer Award Recipients who took home awards Saturday evening. We thank you for your service, support, and love that you have each poured into making Alex’s Army what it is: Franz Ferstl, Kristi Catlett, Stacia Rowles, Hollie Farrish Piraino, and Raishad Peoples.
Thank you to Dr. Jeffrey Dome, MD PhD, for attending our event and for sharing with our attendees remarks about the REST Immunotherapy Trial at Childrens National that Alex’s Army has helped fund the last 2 years (not including our 2019 grant).
