Notable Moments: The evening kicked off with an interactive start, including several photo stations, a rotating ”glam cam” and fabulous “mystery boxes” for sale. The black-and-white theme was embraced by the attendees and was beautifully demonstrated in the event and ballroom décor. A poignant part of the program was the presentation of the “Healthy Hero Award” to Asher Vogt, a patient of Banner Health’s neonatal intensive care unit, when he was only 29 weeks old. Surrounded by his parents and big brother, 6-year-old Asher charmed the audience while his inspirational story was shared. In celebration of Asher’s first birthday, his family started a toy drive for the kids at Banner Children’s, which continues to this day.
