Turn the Corner Foundation would like to thank all those who attended and supported our premiere gala Unmask a Cure, Thursday November 2, 2006 at Guastavino's. The event honored Joseph J. Burrascano, Jr., MD, with the 2006 Humanitarian Award, and Nancy Perry Crotty and John Crotty with the 2006 Vision of Hope Award.

Sponsors for the evening included Beverly Blank Foundation, For Sale By Owner.com, Goldman Sachs, AIG, Danny Lirtzman, Jeff and Stacey Feinberg, Dan and Michele Matthews, Citigroup, Direct Access Partners, Instinet, Lehman Brothers, Level Global, David and Cindy Reichenbaum, Gillis MacGil Addison, AIG Environmental, Chapman Capital LLC, Todd Deutsch and Brooke Elder, Ian and Jen Goodman, Hoenig, In Record Time, JNK Securities, Gregory and Sarah Knight, Marquis Jet, Miller Tabak & Co., New York Tick Control, Dipak and Anita Patel, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, and Town & Country Compounding.

More than 500 guests enjoyed food from Agata & Valentina Ristorante, Aurora Gourmet, Barna, Cit�, Cook with Class, Gabriela's, Osteria del Circo, Ruby Foo's, and STK Steak House. Live music was provided by Creations featuring Kim Sozzi, and a special musical performance by Erin Crotty, dedicated to Dr. Burrascano.

The evening's live auction featured various sports packages, including a trip to a Duke vs. UNC basketball game in a private jet, a Knicks and Mets package, and also trips to Hawaii, California and Chicago to see Oprah Winfrey live. Guests were also invited to help ``Unmask a Cure'' by supporting Turn the Corner's newest research initiatives in the live auction.
