28th Annual Dawn of a Dream Gala
benefiting
Children's Cancer Research Fund
In true rock ‘n’ roll fashion, a sold out crowd brought down the house at the 28th annual Dawn of a Dream Gala, held November 1, 2008 at the Historic Depot in Minneapolis.
Throughout the evening, 870 revelers were asked, “Has it dawned on you?” By the time the evening was over it had dawned on everyone that together they could put an end to childhood cancer.
Fine food, unique experiences, and learning of the meaningful work that Children’s Cancer Research Fund supports at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center made for a fine opening act. When headliners, Minnesota Rocks!, an all-star band of the Twin Cities’ favorite musicians took the stage, the crowd had contributed more than $755,000 for Children’s Cancer Research Fund.
Special thanks to co-chairs Cari Erickson and Laura Johnson and their steering committee, Mick Sterling and Kevin Bowe for assembling the fantastic band, Martin Bastian for producing the event and all of our sponsors, dedicated volunteers and generous attendees for making this a special evening.
