Third Annual SoH Gala Announced

This year’s annual gala dinner and auction to be held on May 1 will be better than ever.  Now in its third year, we promise a fabulous evening of fine French dining thanks to the culinary talents of French chef Marc Meurin and American chef Michael White.  Extraordinary items will be offered for auction, including trips, vacations, and fine carry-away treasures.

Contributing to the growing excitement was a kick-off gala cocktail party March 13, hosted by socialites and humanitarian benefactors Martin and Jean Shafiroff.  As you will see in the photos below, the evening was a resounding success.

Established in 2002 in New York, our organization is committed to bringing open-heart surgery to the poorest children in the poorest countries in Latin America.
