The Heymann Center was brimming with docs and their dates Oct. 4 when Lafayette General Foundation rolled out its annual gala and art auction. The event kicked off with signature martinis, a stunning ice sculpture and dance-worthy music before a live auction filled with art. Organizers say all monetary donations collected during the night of the fundraiser are invested in health care innovation that can lower costs, drive new revenue and improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
