The Casbah was Rocked!

December 12, 2007

Health Hope Network's 2007 "Rock the Casbah" gala was a great party, with around 300 guests enjoying delicious food, dancing and music throughout the night. The transformation of the Hunt Armory into a Moroccan street bazaar, complete with vendors hawking their wares, was breathtaking. We raised over $76,000 for Stroke Survivor Connection! Congratulations to Dr. Loren Roth and thank you to all of our sponsors, attendees, restaurants, vendors, and of course our dedicated Gala Committee! Below are some photos, taken by Rich Waters Photography, from the event.
