2005 Arthritis Research Benefit
Our inaugural Benefit for Arthritis Research was held on November 12, 2005 at the historic Tiger Hotel Ballroom, and was an overwhelming success. Mr. Bill Eppridge, legendary, award-winning photojournalist, gave a presentation entitled, "Robert Kennedy, The Last Campaign" which chronicled the life, political career, and death of Mr. Kennedy in iconic photographs which enraptured the audience. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those that attended and all agreed that it was absolutely amazing!
For this event, we received major sponsorship from the following sources:
- Dana and Sonny Bal Orthopaedic Endowment
- Zimmer
- DePuy Spine
- Gordon Family Endowment for Arthritis Research
And additional sponsorship from:
- Arthrex
- Curt Hale from Smith & Nephew
- The MU Comparative Orthopaedic Laboratory
A silent auction preceded the dinner and presentation and included beautiful art and unique memorabilia. We sincerely thank the donors of items for the silent auction and all of those who donated funds toward this event.
