Almost 450 guests attended a recent black-tie-with-a-twist (sneakers are welcome!) gala that was held for the Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network in Allentown, Pennsylvania on June 2. The gala raised $260, 000 for the Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital Pediatric Unit. This unit is the only one in Lehigh Valley for pediatric rehab, allowing children across the country to get specialized care when they need it, regardless of their ability to pay.
The garden party included a firefly theme, arranged by co-chairs Jim Miller (former CEO of PPL) and his wife, Gail. When guests arrived, they were able to purchase keys for two lock-box prizes of Susan Bella Jewelry. The group was entertained by InFusion while enjoying Sodexo-prepared hors d’oeuvres.
In the beautiful dining tent, those in attendance heard a moving speech from Megan Brislin, whose two children received card at the Pediatric Unit. Dinner included beef and salmon and there was dancing and dessert afterwards.
