The dinner raised $180,000 and was held at Bistro by the Tracks with a dinner prepared by their chef, John Bryant. 100-pint wines were served throughout the evening and an auction was held that included Napa stays, dinner featuring Bourbon, Benton’s and Bart’s at Van Edom’s, UT football experiences and more. They money raised will go towards a new C-Arm machine.

It enables a doctor to assess, in the moment, the results of an ongoing procedure.
