Bone Bash Gala- 11/7/09
It was a smashing evening at the Arthritis Foundation’s Bone Bash Gala. More than 400 people attended the event paying homage to the 2009 honoree, Dr. Freddie Fu, at the Hilton Pittsburgh. Other honorees included Dr. Paul Caplan, receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award; Pam Schanwald, receiving the Heart-in-Hand Pediatric Care Award; and Pam Watters, receiving the Joyce B. O’Connor volunteer service award. In a live auction, bidding wars ensued over a sequined tie from Dr. Freddie Fu and paintings by George Williams featuring Max Talbot’s goal in the Stanley Cup and Franco Harris’ immaculate reception, each signed by their respective players. Guests bid for spa packages and getaways in a silent auction that helped raise more than $145,000, and danced into the night to the lively numbers of Johnny Angel & the Halos.
