Aleena Khan, Dr. Peter Hotez, and Sophia Burnette (pictured, from left) attended The Health Museum 2024 annual gala at the Hotel ZaZa-Museum District. Mysterious Worlds: Unveiling the Wonders of Healthy Living raised a record-breaking $420,000 to benefit the Museum’s exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach programs. More than 300 supporters celebrated the effort to create a healthier community with a cocktail reception and dinner. KUHF Radio host Ernie Manouse and The Health Museum president and CEO John Arcidiacono began the program and welcomed guests as they watched a video tribute to the evening’s honoree Peter Hotez, M.D., Ph.D., who serves as co-director of Texas Children’s Center for Vaccine Development and Dean of National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
