Over 330 guests attended the Medical Bridges One People One World Gala at Hotel ZaZa. The event was led by Kim Weill, Elizabeth Grzebinski, Dolly Dawson Thomas and Elizabeth Kanaly (pictured, with Drew Kanaly) and honorary chairs Tony Bradfield and Kevin Black. It was a record-breaking evening, raising over $300,000. Guests were grabbing the wine pull bottles and bidding on auction items. A sitar group performed as the crowd sipped and visited. Medical Bridges recovers surplus medical supplies that would otherwise be discarded and redistributes them to hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers in less fortunate countries.
