On Oct. 2, nearly 350 of Cleveland Clinic’s friends and supporters gathered at the recently renovated Cleveland Museum of Art for Cleveland Clinic’s 3rd 1921 Society Dinner. The event was hosted by Mrs. Norma Lerner, Chair of the 1921 Society and Honorary Chair of Today’s Innovations, Tomorrow’s Healthcare: Campaign for Cleveland Clinic.
Guests perused select galleries and were serenaded by the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus prior to dinner.
The evening’s menu, prepared by chef and restaurateur Zack Bruell from Table 45, was enhanced by musical performances by Cleveland Institute of Music student harpist, Karen Abrahamson, and the Hoopes Trio.
Dr. Toby Cosgrove, President and CEO, Cleveland Clinic, presented Gus P. Karos and Barbara and Malachi Mixon with the Distinguished Fellow. Tracie and Scott Hamilton, Arlene Holden and Margaret and M. Frank Rudy (pictured in their Calabasas, Calif., home) also received the honor, but were unable to attend the event.
Mrs. Lerner awarded the Alfred and Norma Lerner Humanitarian Award to Dr. Bruce Lytle, Chairman of the Heart & Vascular Institute.
