More wishes will be coming true this year thanks to the 16th Annual Starlight Insurance Gala, held in support of Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation. Themed ‘Springtime in Paris,’ the black tie event raised $175,000 on May 1, exceeding last year’s amount. Just short of 450 tables represented all segments of the industry. Joann Brjnas addressed the audience with touching memories of her daughter Samantha Flannigan’s courageous fight against osteosarcoma, a common type of bone cancer, as Flanigan maintained her determination to express joy and love. Brjnas conveyed her gratitude towards a Starlight Wish for its role in the care Samantha had received, and confirmed Samantha’s anticipation of the Wish.
