Last Friday, more than 700 people attended the 14th annual A Night at Nemours gala -- held on the Nemours Estate in Rockland, Delaware. Guests mingled during the cocktail hour, enjoyed food presented by DuPont Country Club, and danced the night away to the sounds of the Bachelor Boys Band. The event, presented by Jefferson, raised nearly $500,000 to support cardiac research at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. Cardiac research helps ensure outcomes and quality measures at Nemours Cardiac Center remain the best in the nation. Funding from this event will give children with heart conditions the best chance for a long and disability-free life. “We are thrilled to have so many guests together in support of our Night at Nemours gala,” said Cathy Kanefsky, Nemours Chief Development Officer. “It is heartwarming to see members from so many facets of the community come together to celebrate and raise funds that will transform the future for children facing serious cardiac conditions.” Over the past 14 years, A Night at Nemours has raised more than $4 million for Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hosptial for Children.
