2008 Black Tie Gala
Black Tie Gala chairs Sue Burns, Kris Sullivan and Diane Chesler returned this year with exciting changes for the Sequoia Hospital Foundation’s 2008 Ball. This year's event was sponsored by Ireland San Filippo LLP and was held on the elegant Club Level at AT&T Park in San Francisco on October 25, 2008.
After many wonderful years on the Peninsula, our annual event had grown into a truly special evening and we were excited to offer our guests an exciting change of pace. This new venue proved to be an ideal location for our elegant event that began with cocktails and a fabulous silent auction before dinner and our annual live auction. The evening’s final chapter included dancing to the music of the Fundamentals, performing live in this unforgettable location. San Francisco Giants' President Larry Baer served as our Master of Ceremonies, keeping the evening moving and assuring that all attendees enjoyed themselves.
2008 Invitational Golf Tournament
The Sequoia Hospital Foundation’s Invitational Golf Tournament was held this year on September 15, 2008 and for the first time featured play on two exceptional courses. Tournament co-chairs Roger Winkle, M.D., Greg Engel, M.D., Gene Sullivan and Greg Kemist invited guests to join them for a fantastic day of golf among friends and that is exactly how things shaped up.
Our tournament was held not only at the prestigious course at Sharon Heights, the host of our sold-out tournament for many years, but this year we were also proud to expand our tournament to the exclusive course at Stanford University. On a first-come-first-served basis, teams of foursomes were able to register for the course of their choice.
After their 18-holes, all golfers were invited to join us at Sharon Heights for cocktails, dinner and the presentation of tournament winners.
2008 Wine Auction
The Sequoia Hospital Foundation’s tenth annual Wine Auction, a premier event on the San Francisco Peninsula, was held on June 26, 2008 on the lavish grounds of San Francisco Giant’s co-owner Susan Burns’ private Atherton estate. 2008 event chairs Richard Sponholz and Bob Franceschini delivered an elegant event.
The afternoon began with guests enjoying fine wines paired with hors d’oeuvres crafted by premier local chefs, positioned throughout the estate grounds and passed during the cocktail hour. Musicians added to the ambiance of the garden reception as guests reviewed the auction lots of premier wines and bid on exquisite silent auction packages.
The atmosphere built to a pre-sunset live auction followed by sensational desserts and a glass of port. Preeminent local auctioneer Frank Bizzarro and his team led the bidding.
