10/26/2010 - By New York, NY

The Orthopaedic Foundation for Active Lifestyles' 6th Annual Gala

The Orthopaedic Foundation for Active Lifestyles (OFALs) hosted its sixth anniversary gala fundraiser on October 26, 2010 at Espace in Manhattan.

The celebratory evening honored internationally recognized orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine expert James R. Andrews, 106th Mayor of NYC David N. Dinkins and George Kollitides II, and successfully raised over $700,000 for the foundation’s medical research and educational programs.

Emeril Lagasse created and presented a bone healthy menu with the help of nutritionists Alix Landman and Tiffany Moreno for the event, and John Oates performed classic Hall and Oates favorites as well as some songs from his forthcoming album, Mississippi Mile. Tennis legend John McEnroe presented the honorable David N. Dinkins with the Spirit of Active Lifestyle Award; UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue presented Dr. James Andrews with the Excellence in Sports Medicine Award; and Fox News Anchor Jon Scott presented George Kollitides II with the Leadership Award for Corporate Philanthropy. Grammy Award winning violinist Miri Ben Ari kicked off the dinner and presentation with a spirited performance following the cocktail reception.

Guests including Heidi Albertsen, Jamie Drake, Ana Carolina Victoria and Dr. Eric Balaguer, Sharon Bush, Phil Beekman, Anita Salomon and Mark DeMarsico, Dr. Robert Grant, Christine Farrell, Duane Hill, Karen and Joseph Bellapianta, Erin Tracy, Seth Greenberg, Edina Santiage Thomas Pannazzo, Aimee Oates, Key and Dean Facatselis and Mark Smith joined in toasting the honorees and bid on items including a private dinner for 10 by Emeril Lagasse complete with wines from Emeril’s own cellar, and a private tennis lesson with John McEnroe.

Proceeds from the evening benefit the Orthopaedic Foundation for Active Lifestyles, developed by Kevin Plancher, MD, a not-for-profit foundation whose principal mission is to promote, support, develop and encourage research and education concerning orthopaedic care and advancements in technologies and treatment of arthritis, orthopaedic injuries and musculoskeletal diseases.
