Description

The HUGS gala is an evening filled with fabulous food, fun and fundraising with live entertainment, and a live and silent auction. 98% of the money raised in this evening goes directly back to the foundation.  HUGS is small but we are doing a world of good.  Our doctors and nurses volunteer their time and extraudinary talents to provide free surgery and medical care to children and adolescents living with severe facial deformities.  Our goal is to transform their lives.
