Doctors Hospital Gala on Broadway
Black-tie event raises $650,000 for Hospital’s Center for Excellence in Nursing
The flair of Broadway, the music of “The Phantom of the Opera” and the spirit of philanthropy combined to create an epic evening May 20 at the “Doctors Hospital Gala on Broadway– Life is a Cabaret!”
Authentically bringing the theme to life was a performance by Howard McGillin, best known for performing the title role of “The Phantom of the Opera” longer than any other actor in Broadway history.
The gala also included dinner, dancing and a live and silent auction, and raised $650,000 for Doctors Hospital’s Center for Excellence in Nursing.
