It was
a record breaking year for MIRACLES XVI
both in terms of attendance and financial support, with fourteen hundred guests
celebrating at the new Connecticut Convention Center on Saturday, October 1st,
2005. The annual gala held by Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center
generated funds this year for “Children at Risk ”,
incorporating the programs and services provided by Saint Francis for children
in the community. The evening boasted a silent art auction featuring selected
works by distinguished Connecticut artists, a silent wine auction introducing
donated wines from private collections, and dancing to the nationally acclaimed
Big City Swing Orchestra.
