Please Take a Seat Gala
Patrons of the Twenty-Five Club of Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC were invited to “Please Take a Seat” for neonatology. The gala, featuring cocktails, dinner, and live entertainment, was highlighted by the silent and live auctions of uniquely decorated chairs. Live auctioneer Jim Roddey encouraged the 270 guests to bid on the decorative seating, signed by Pittsburgh sports heroes — including the 2006 Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XL team, Sidney Crosby, Mario Lemieux, and Arnold Palmer — and painted by prominent local artists. The event was a victory for the club, bringing their total funds raised to $1 million, a figure that will be generously matched by Magee-Womens Hospital.
