title: Popular honorees, classic appeal contribute to fund raising success. UPHC leadership dinner grows every year.
abstract: University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute ran its ninth annual Leadership Dinner with record-high results: $522,115. Every year, invitations use a traditional design incorporating the university's venerable 1787 logo. The event receives a boost from an internal awards event for hospital staffers, held the day prior to the dinner. In the two past years, the dinner was recognized by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as the "Best Awards Dinner" in the area.
