SLU’S DIAMOND GALA RAISES MONEY
FOR LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH
The Friends of the Saint Louis University Liver Center
recently celebrated its 12th Annual Diamonds Gala,
“Carnival at the Coronado,” at the magnificent Coronado
Ballroom. With this year’s vintage carnival theme, the
gala evening’s festivities included a cocktail reception
with carnival games, a sumptuous three-course sit-down
dinner, and a live auction with fabulous prizes.

More than 260 guests attended the “Carnival at the
Coronado,” and the event raised nearly $315,000 to
support the Friends organization and the Saint Louis
University Liver Center. KSDK’s Pat McGonigle was
the emcee for the evening.
