“We wanted to host an elegant event that was fun while also benefiting to the American Cancer Society and their important work in saving lives and finding cures for many of the cancers that we see our clients face, such as mesothelioma,” said Barry Julian, partner at Gori Julian. “We have seen first-hand the impact that cancer can have on families and individuals and wanted to do everything we could to have a successful event so that hopefully some day we can celebrate a cure.”
The event raised more than $93,000 through the hard work of the event organizers in securing sponsorships, ticket sales and silent auction items. This was one of the most successful gala events for the American Cancer Society’s local chapter. “Thank you so much to everyone who dedicated countless hours to planning such a successful evening,” added Julian.
