19th Annual Lombardi Gala
Victory Lane
This year’s Lombardi Gala treated 1,300 supporters to lively NASCAR
races
on large screens at The Washington Hilton and Towers on October 30.
Honorees included NASCAR great and prostate cancer survivor Richard Petty,
who was recognized with the Lombardi Symbol of Courage; former WUSA
anchorwoman Andrea Roane was awarded the Lombardi Symbol of Caring
for encouraging women to perform breast cancer exams through the Buddy
Check 9 program, and local interior designer Sarah Boyer Jenkins received
the Margaret L. Hodges Leadership Award for her time, energy and financial
contributions to the Center. The gala grossed $1.3 million, thanks in part
to
generous bidding on more than 400 auction items and the help of former
Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating and his wife, Cathy, who chaired the
gala.
