The NPC 2008 Gala took place on September 17th from 6-9 PM at Duboce Park. More than 300 people attended and enjoyed great food donated by local restaurants, cocktails and wine, a fabulous silent auction, and hot music by Edo Castro and E. "Doc" Smith. Thanks to the generous donations of guests, sponsors and auction winners, more than $125,000 was raised. To see photos from the evening, click here.
