Gala Art Benefit for Mass General Hospital

The gala art benefit on November 3rd was a great success, raising about $270,000 for the work of Massachusetts General Hospital's Department of Psychiatry. Close to 400 guests joined together to enjoy the convivial reception and dinner and to participate in the silent and live art auctions, according to Deb Shapiro, one of the event's coordinators.

The evening's success was orchestrated by a large team of volunteers, led by co-chairs Stacy Sweeny and Wendy Tulman. Thanks to this fund-raising, the department will be able to do the education and basic research that complements its excellent patient care.
