Whirl Magazine – OCHS Leading Ladies Gala IX

Oakland Catholic High School’s leading ladies took center stage at the Westin Convention Center Hotel, where more than 560 guests gathered for the Broadway soirée, which featured a musical performance by the OCHS Chamber Singers. The show-stopping evening included a live auction, decadent raffle items, and a tribute to 22 of the region’s leading women in philanthropy, business, education, health care, religion, and the arts. Honorees were Sara Aros; Yvonne Campos; Dr. Mary Capenos; Kim Clougherty; Tracey DeAngelo; Kate Dewey; Mary Drummond; Dr. Anita Edwards; Dr. Rachel Egler; Julie Fallon Hughes; Sr. Bonnie Heh, RSM; Augusta Kairys; Carol Kinkela; Dusty Elias Kirk, Esq.; Susan Kirsch, CPA, J.D.; The Hon. Sally McDonough Niemiec; Sr. Mary Jo Mutschler, SC, Ph.D.; Teresa Petrick; Cecile Shellman; Jean Ann Streiff; Dr. Sarah Tambucci; and Marilee Tudi. Chaired by Patty Annear, Dana Ceraso, and Elaine Conte, the annual event — in its ninth year — has helped the school raise more than $1 million for scholarships, academic programs, facility needs!
