UNC REX
125th Celebration Gala I
t was an unprecedented, magical night on November 10, 2019, as nearly 300 people were part of history when UNC REX celebrated its 125th year of serving the Triangle.
The hospital’s main entrance was transformed in a way that allowed guests to travel to another time, when John Rex first set his vision to create a place to care for the sick. Throughout the event, guests enjoyed making connections with friends, reminiscing about the past and looking ahead. The event focused on funding the future, showcasing the critical work of the hospital and included a high-energy live auction and paddle raise. The group’s generosity helped to raise over $370,000 that evening. Visionary Gala Co-Chairs, Marion Winston and Fairley Bell Cook, shared their gratitude by saying, “We salute our sponsors, our attendees, our volunteers and the medical staff and administrators at UNC REX. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank everyone for supporting the UNC REX 125th Celebration Gala.” Many sponsors, Board members, staff and long-time friends contributed to the success of the event. Thank you for being part of the celebration and helping UNC REX commemorate such a special milestone! Holly and Ernie Bovio, Tina and Steve Burriss, Drs. Jignasa and Ravish Sachar
