THE PARTY The beautiful Loews Atlanta Hotel was the backdrop for an “Evening of Inspiration,” with funds going to research for the thousands of children who suffer from pediatric brain tumors. THE PLAYERS Co-chairs Barbara Roos and Kathy Asarch put on a beautiful event that brought out Jane and Dr. Mark Codner, Krista Friedman, Erica Lewis, Dr. Stephen Lipsky and Lew Dickey. THE HIGHLIGHTS This year’s event raised almost double the amount of last year’s gala—around $750,000 for children with brain tumors. More than 400 guests mingled at the seated dinner. The foundation presented its first Lifetime of Achievement award to Francois-Henry Bennahmias of Audemars Piguet. “We are so thankful. The funds we raised for pediatric brain tumor research enable the labs to test innovative research projects.” –Cheryl Yagoda, co-founder
