Annual Chairman's Gala

Attendees at the GNFCC's 40th Annual Chairman's Gala, held Saturday, March 23rd at The St. Regis Atlanta, were given the royal treatment beginning with complimentary valet parking to butler-passed trays of champagne!

The evening's festivities began with the hotel's nightly ritual of sabering a bottle of the Astor family's favorite champagne, and concluded with dancing to the sounds of the Atlanta Soul Band.

Thank you to Title Sponsor Northside Hospital, and to all our sponsors, for making the event a HUGE success!.
