The Drexel University College of Medicine’s Annual Black Tie White Coat Ball, held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on November 18, raised $750,000 and was attended by more than 1,000 guests—the most in the Gala’s history. Proceeds from the event, which featured musical group Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, benefit research, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS in women and children.
