2008 Stars Among Us Gala deemed a success
November 5, 2008 — Previously held in venues such as The Depot in Minneapolis, Minn., and the Landmark Center in St. Paul, Minn., this year Northwestern Health Sciences University was able to host the event on its own campus. The new Wolfe-Harris Center for Excellence was unveiled for the Gala.
Fuji Ya, an award-winning authentic Japanese sushi restaurant from Minneapolis, served freshly prepared sushi during the cocktail hour; and an ice bar in the Standard Process Healing Garden provided drinks, with the liquor donated by MGM Liquor.
As the night progressed, about 430 guests filtered in and activities
Prior to dinner, Kent Greenawalt, the 2008 Brilliant Star Honoree, delivered an inspiring speech. He urged guests to ask themselves, “What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail?” He encouraged the audience to give back to the chiropractic community and to keep concern for the patient as their primary focus. The highlight of the evening was Greenawalt announcing that Foot Levelers will match (up to $1.5 million) every dollar donated by the Northwestern community.
