Baltimore - LifeBridge Health is excited to announce the return of the Magic of Life Gala, celebrating team members, executives, physicians, partners, patients, donors and board members for their commitment to upholding the organization's "Care Bravely" credo. The event will be held on Saturday, April 30 starting at 6pm at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, and this year's esteemed gala co-chairs are Keith and Alissa Attman, Dan and Gina Hirschhorn, and Jimmy and Donna Smith.
LifeBridge Health was unable to hold the biennial Magic Life Gala in 2020 due to COVID-19 and as such, the organization is eager to bring this important fundraiser back with a bang.

He adds, "With such a momentous occasion, we are also excited to have three powerhouse couples and pillars of the community as co-chairs for this event, which raises vital funds to support programs and services at LifeBridge Health that benefit our patients, our caregivers and our communities."
