The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital
ILLUMINATION GALA Photos and story by Diane Anderson
T
he Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis in Clayton recently played host to the Illumination Gala. Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by dinner and a special performance by writer, composer, director, producer and acting teacher Jason Alexander, who’s perhaps best known for his award-winning nine-year stint as the now iconic George Costanza on the NBC TV program Seinfeld. The Illumination Gala ranks as the foundation’s premier fundraiser for cancer research at the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. The gala supports breakthrough cancer research to develop new ways to prevent and treat cancer. Co-chairs for the evening were George and Melissa Paz and Arnold and Hazel Donald. Chairman for the dinner was Dick Miles.
Tonight is a very exciting evening! What excites me most is that it is a way to communicate to our community the importance of what we are doing to create ways to cure cancer! ROBERT CANNON, BJC GROUP PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT,
BARNES-JEWISH HOSPITAL (SHOWN WITH SANDRA CANNON)
