On Nov. 2, the annual Lombardi Gala, focused on raising funding and awareness for cancer research, education and treatment benefitting Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, drew nearly 1,000 elegantly attired guests to the Washington Hilton. While the cause is sobering, the gala delivered a festive night of dinner and dancing peppered with a competitive silent auction of hundreds of items, the annual raffle of a Lexus and awards bestowed on remarkable individuals for their contributions in the fight against cancer.
