The Palace Hotel

6th Annual Orbital Gala at the historic Palace Hotel was a tremendous success!

More than 240 guests came to support the Academy Foundation at the 2009 Orbital Gala, held at the exquisite Palace Hotel during the 2009 Joint Meeting.  This year’s Gala and auction raised over $190,000 in support of the Foundation’s mission to prevent avoidable blindness and severe visual impairment through public service and education.    Some of our top winning items included a week of luxury on Useppa Island, a Lumenis Selecta II ®Laser, a signed Yogi Berra shadow box and a Silverado Resort package in Napa. Be sure to join us at next year’s Orbital Gala in Chicago. A special thank you to our event sponsors, our auction donors and to Dr. William and Alice Lea Tasman for chairing the event!
