Huntington Hospital Supporters Celebrate at An Evening on the Red Carpet Gala
December 27, 2011
Huntington, NY - Close to 400 guests walked the red carpet at Huntington Hospital’s annual gala at the beautiful Oheka Castle in Huntington on Thursday, December 8. The glamorous “Evening on the Red Carpet” featured a Joan Rivers look-alike who posed with guests and entertained the crowd, as well as a casino, exciting raffle prizes, and a live auction featuring an original oil painting by world-class impressionist Diane Monet and a custom-created Le Vian Chocolatier collection pendant with a 2.0 carat total diamond weight in 18 karat strawberry gold courtesy of Libutti Jewelers.
Thanks to honorees Jim and Yvette Loughlin and a dynamic Gala Committee, along with generous sponsors and guests, the black-tie affair raised nearly $400,000 toward construction of One SouthWest, a new patient care unit at the hospital.
Major sponsors of this year’s event include the Long Island Automotive Group, Huntington Hospital’s Medical Staff, Libutti Diamond Jewelers, Atlantic Auto Mall, Axis Construction Corp., Neurological Surgery, PC, and the Jorge Family.
The gala was organized by an energetic committee that included Rebecca Griffiths, Northport; Jennifer Levinson, Huntington; Yvette Loughlin, Huntington; Nicole Lambert, Huntington; Tamara Mohuchy-Collins, MD, Lloyd Habor; and Paige Sanborn, Centerport; and led by Executive Committee members Kristine Colleluori, Huntington; Lisa McCartan, Cold Spring Harbor; Patricia Rongo, Huntington, and Rachel Spencer, Centerport.
