Annual Fundraising Gala Celebrates Transformation of Faces and Lives of Children
from Ecuador
The seventh annual gala to benefit The Little Baby Face Foundation. “Believe in Miracles VII” was held on November 19, 2009 at the New York Athletic Club overlooking Central Park in New York City.
More than 300 guests joined in honoring Dr. Deborah Pilla, a dedicated member of the Foundation’s Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Pilla provides dental evaluations to every child the Foundation serves. Her work with LBFF patients was highlighted in a video, “Living a Life of Consequence” shown during the evening. Click here to view video.
The evening also included spectacular silent and live auctions, raffle drawing for exotic trips, dancing, and a sumptuous buffet dinner. Among our special guests were our Little Baby Face patients from as far as Morocco, Greece, Ecuador and as close as Staten Island, NY.
The event raised more than $150,000, enabling us to continue providing exceptional medical treatment at no cost to children from around the world who have been born with cleft lip/palates, missing or malformed ears and other facial deformities.
Pictured here are some highlights of the evening.
