On May 5, 2007, the 8th Annual Newton-Wellesley Hospital Gala will be held at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel to benefit the Joan and James Vernon Cancer Center at Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

At the Gala we will have a large selection of exciting items in our Silent Auction and a collection of exclusive and not-to-be-missed items in our Live Auction. For the first time, we are supplementing the auctions held at the Gala by offering a small sampling of items here online.

This online auction will run from April 9, 2007 to May 1, 2007, and includes items that are available only online as well as items for which bidding will continue at the Gala. (Please note: Even if you cannot attend the Gala, you can still bid on Gala-designated items via a proxy bid.)

Auction items offered online include jewelry, family outings, sports items, photographic portrait sessions, gift certificates, and other items guaranteed to delight and surprise. 

So tell your friends and family and get involved today by bidding on your favorite items!

This year's Gala - whose theme is Ole - Celebrate Cinco de Mayo - promises to be a great evening for Newton-Wellesley and our community. If you are interested in attending our Gala, please contact Miria Ioannou at mioannou@partners.org or call (617) 243-6712.
