More Social Diary Event Coverage ....HOME

The 15th Annual UCSD Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center's "Heart of San Diego" pumped in more awareness and funds for the new world class center February 25th, 2012.

Held at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, guests dressed in black tie / 50's Hollywood Glam. Appropriate to the glamorous centerpiece auction prize. A suite of ruby and diamond jewels, necklace and earrings that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor. She was given the jewelry by Michael Jackson. Starting bid was a whopping $500,00. A steal since they were appraised by Antique & Estate Jewelry and Baron and Baroness Jewels at $1.2 million!

Guests first enjoyed Jessup Cellars and Stags Leap wine tasting, appetizers, but most importantly, the opportunity to hands on learn about the da Vinci Surgical System. That's the da Vinci Robotic Surgery that's creating quite the buzz for minimally invasive stellar results.

Sarah B. Marsh-Rebelo was just one of the guests who was wowed by the robot.

The evening continued with dinner offerings including a duo of pan seared filet mignon of beef and jumbo prawns. Dr. Sanjay Gupta served as Master of Ceremonies who introduced speakers UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox and Dr. Kirk L. Peterson who is the Director, Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center and Professor of Medicine.

More there included Dr. Ehtisham Mahmud in Cardiovascular Medicine and Dr. Michael Madani in Cardiovascular Surgery. Also there were renowned cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Stuart Jamieson and his wife Sheri, Dr. Tony DeMaria, Lee and Frank Goldberg, Betty and Bob Beyster, Drs. Cindy and Tom Goodman, Audrey Geisel and Alex Butterfield, Lee Clark and Jerry Pikolysky, Hannah and Gene Step, Hermeen Scharaga, and Sharon and Sami Ladeki.
