The event, chaired by Dorothy Menish and Karen Fine, featured silent and live auctions, offering guests an opportunity to bid on hundreds of luxurious and one-of-a-kind items.

Special guests Dale and Terry Lingenfelder were also honored for their dedication to Scripps Cancer Center, Stevens Division, during the last two decades.
