23rd Annual Gift of Life Gala

PREMIER SPONSOR
The NKF-MD's 23rd Annual Gift of Life Gala, an R&B All-Star Revue, was a big success. The foundation raised more than $150,000, including $10,250 for Camp All-Stars through the "Be the One" fund-raiser at the event.
NKF-MD also sold $2,040 in raffle tickets for a Fender Telecaster guitar signed by the artists who performed at the gala. Board member Christopher Simon won the guitar in a drawing.
