16th Annual Starlight Insurance Gala

More wishes will be coming true this year thanks to the 16th Annual Starlight Insurance Gala, held in support of Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation. The May 1st black-tie event themed ‘Springtime in Paris’ raised $175,000, exceeding last year’s amount. Attendance was up with just short of 450 tables, representing all segments of the industry. Joann Brjnas addressed the audience with very touching memories of her daughter Samantha Flannigan and her diagnosis with Osteosarcoma and her courageous fight while remaining filled with determination to express joy and love. Brjnas conveyed her gratitude towards a Starlight Wish that Samantha had received, describing how Samantha was thrilled to have the exciting anticipation of the Wish.
