We are thrilled to feature the fourth annual “Moonlight and Miracles Gala” on our cover this month! Thanks to Tom and Chair Gayle Benson; Warner Thomas, President and CEO of Ochsner Health Systems; and 2015 Miracle Award Winners Dr. John Cole and Lori Ochsner. Gayle promises a night to remember on Friday, November 11 starting at 6 p.m. at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. That night will include fabulous food, music, fireworks and a car raffle for a chance to win a Mercedes-Benz – all that for $400 a ticket. The party is always “on the turf” at the Superdome, and the gala will benefit cancer services and research at Ochsner Cancer Institute, the largest nonprofit system in the Gulf South to provide multi-disiplinary care to adult and pediatric cancer patients. Get your tickets now by calling 842-7125!
