This year’s event was held on Jan. 6 at the St. Pete Times Forum and was chaired for the third year by trustee, Andrea Gramling. Andrea continued a great tradition of strong leadership and helped raise awareness of the TGH Foundation throughout the community. In recognition of our 20th year partnership with Feld Entertainment, Nicole and Alana Feld presented the Foundation with a framed circus photo and a fabulous cake prepared by Let Them Eat Cake. Net proceeds of over $202,000 will help complete the final phase of the new, state-of-the art Jennifer Leigh Muma Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
