IT’S BACK! THE 13TH ANNUAL CHAMPIONS GALA, THE SILVER CHALICE AWARDS DINNER
Mark your calendars for A Knight for Champions! That’s right, the 13th Annual Champions Gala, the Silver Chalice Awards Dinner is back and scheduled for September 28, 2021, at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. This year’s gala will be a hybrid event with an in-person auction and dinner, limited to 150 guests, and a live streamed program for virtual guests. All proceeds will support the expansion of the Clinic, which includes adding three exam rooms, expanding the telemedicine initiative, expanding telehealth capacities and initiating mobile services. The evening will honor Gianrico Farrugia, MD, KM, President and CEO of Mayo Clinic. Under Dr. Farrugia’s leadership, the Mayo Clinic provides a robust library of educational resources for the Clinic and our many patients. A native of Malta, Dr. Farrugia spent the last 30 years as a Mayo Clinic physician and educator. Co-author of “Think Big, Start Small, Move Fast: A Blueprint for Transformation from the Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation,” he is described as a prolific investigator, inventor and accomplished executive. The event will also recognize long-time volunteers Bill and Ann Regan, GCM, DM. In the Clinic’s infancy, Bill and Ann helped raise more than $1 million to kickstart the dream of providing high-quality health care to the sick and the poor. To this day, they continue to support and champion the Clinic’s important work.
