7th Annual Charity Gala

On Tuesday, October 15, Surgeons of Hope (SoH)
held
their 7th Annual Charity Galaat
the prestigious JW Marriott Essex House,
where they honored
Diego Luna,
star of Narcos: Mexico and Star Wars: Rogue One,
Mexican heart throb and Surgeons of Hope Heart
Ambassador, and Publicis Groupe Supervisory Board
Chairman Maurice Lévy.
The evening, chaired by Jean Shafiroff,
included
cocktails, a coveted auction collection, a
three-course meal of contemporary French cuisine with
exquisite wine pairings at the iconic Essex House
overlooking Central Park, and exciting entertainment from
Latin dance group Baila Conmigo.
The event showcased
SoH’s lifesaving work with babies and children in Costa
Rica, Nicaragua, and Paraguay and celebrate the efforts of
these two extraordinary philanthropists. The evening culminated
with an electrifying performance by Baila Conmigo –
the high-energy Latin dance group that recently toured with
Jennifer Lopez.
The gala raised
proceeds
to finance
Surgeons of Hope’s work and mission, “To create a world in
which every infant and child with a damaged heart has an
equal opportunity to receive life-saving surgery.”
Jean Shafiroff,
Philanthropist and Author of Successful Philanthropy: How to
Make a Life by What You Give, chairs this year’s Gala which
is a wonderful opportunity for the community, supporters and
friends to help provide lifesaving heart surgeries for
babies and children, regardless of where they call home.
Jean Shafiroff’s commitment to SoH’s lifesaving work has
been integral to the organization’s success in recent years.
About Surgeons of Hope |
|
Since 2013, SoH has provided over 1,700
children with lifesaving surgery in Costa Rica, Nicaragua
and Paraguay and held over 30 week-long training missions.
Working with the National Children’s Hospital, SoH created
Costa Rica’s first nationwide monitoring system to help
detect congenital heart disease, the number one birth defect
amongst newborns, and the need for early treatment. The
organization built and equipped Nicaragua’s first pediatric
heart center in 2013 and sent its first mission to Paraguay
earlier this year. Surgeons of Hope is excited about
expanding its work regionally and launching a medical
fellowship program in 2020, in order to further develop the
expertise and skills of the local teams it partners with.
