Florida Hospital Starlight Gala
“An Evening in Chicago,” the Windy City, was the theme of this year’s fundraiser for the Florida Hospital West Region Florida
Foundation. To make the evening complete, the legendary group of musicians known as Chicago played some of their 47 gold and
platinum hit songs that earned them induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The event was chaired by Kay Meyer, who
was assisted by Nancy Morrison as vice chair. The evening’s emcees were ABC television’s Lissette Campos and Jamison Uhler.
