Area Residents Help Raise Funds at Mount Auburn Hospital Gala

Area residents helped raised nearly $500,000 at Mount Auburn Hospital’s annual Party of the Year gala which took place recently at the Seaport Hotel. Comedian Jimmy Tingle and O'Neill and Associates CEO, Tom O'Neill, served as the emcees and the evening featured a performance by Grammy Award-winning artist, Bruce Hornsby.  It also featured a heartfelt speech by Officer Richard Donohue of Woburn, whose life was saved by the hospital after he was injured during the Boston Marathon manhunt in Watertown.  Donohue attended the event with his parents and wife, Kim. In a very touching moment, he thanked the hospital - the team of first responders, doctors, nurses and staff who saved his life.
