1. The American Heart Association held its 57th annual Philadelphia Heart Ball on Saturday, February 15, 2014 at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott in Center City. The inclement weather could not keep away the more than 700 guests that gathered to celebrate the contributions of the two honorees: George V. Hager Jr., CEO, Genesis HealthCare, who received the Heart of Philadelphia Award and Dr. Morris Kotler, Chairman Emeritus, Division of Cardiovascular Disease, Einstein Medical Center, who received the Edward S. Cooper, MD Award. Guests also heard the testimony of Derek Fitzgerald, who battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, only then to struggle with heart disease — dilated cardiomyopathy — after his remission. Fitzgerald, who is now an Iron Man Triathlete, says he lives every day “like his [heart] donor is watching.” The Philadelphia Heart Ball benefit raised more than $1.7M for local heart disease and stroke research and education. Cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke, remain the No. 1 killer both here in Pennsylvania and across the country. The Heart of Philadelphia, formerly known as Heart Ball, provides our community with a fun and exciting way to join the fight against heart disease and stroke. This event will feature a celebratory evening of dining, dancing and bidding on coveted live and silent auction items — all to benefit research and education to help protect our community and loved ones against heart disease and stroke.  (From left) Allyson Lindauer, Tawny Jackson, Cara Feldman, Sarah Smart, Deena Thornton and Christina Crews paused for a photo during the cocktail reception.

 1. On Thursday, February 27, 2014, the Women’s Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art hosted a gala evening to celebrate the ”Treasures from Korea” opening. A sweeping panorama, ”Treasures from Korea” celebrates the artistic achievements of the Joseon dynasty, a line of twenty-seven monarchs that ruled the Korean peninsula for more than five hundred years and left a substantial legacy for modern Korea. A variety of objects, including painted screens, scrolls, calligraphy, furnishings, costumes, accessories, and ritual wares used in ancestral rites and Buddhist worship, explore the roles of king and court, the distinct spheres of men and women in society, and religious beliefs, all underpinned by the ideals of Confucianism. This is the first full-scale American exhibition to be devoted to art of the Joseon dynasty. Comprised of more than 150 works drawn primarily from the National Museum of Korea’s collection and supplemented by objects from public and private collections, ”Treasures from Korea” presents American audiences with a rare opportunity to see some of Korea’s artistic masterpieces, including a number designated as national treasures. The exhibition includes interactive displays of select objects, a free audio tour, and a family guide. In addition, a broad range of programs such as film screenings, family celebrations, performances, lectures, and dining events are offered throughout the run of the exhibition. ”Treasures from Korea” represents one of two international exhibitions that are part of a collaborative exchange between the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Museum of Korea (NMK), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), and the Terra Foundation for American Art. In early 2013, Art Across America, featuring some of the finest examples of American art drawn from the collections of the four US museums, traveled to the NMK in Seoul and the Daejeon Museum of Art. The exhibit will run at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from March 2, 2014 to May 26, 2014. The exhibition is organized by the National Museum of Korea, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.  Models wearing Hanbok Designer Fashions were pictured in the Great Stair Hall following the fashion presentation.

Proceeds support student scholarships, as well as museum and school programs, the commencement luncheon, and other special projects throughout the year.
