Interfaith Dental Gala Returns With an Evening of Intrigue

Guests, including one or two nemeses of James Bond, arrived in their 007-best for the Interfaith Dental Gala. Returning after a three-year, pandemic-induced pause, the organization came back on Her Majesty’s service with an event honoring the international man of mystery. Co-chairs Steven and Keisha Brady and Jaime and Eva Angelina Romero created the beautiful event in The Factory at Franklin, complete with a Casino Royale and an Aston Martin on display. Of course, what would a James Bond-themed evening be unless shaken, not stirred? Plenty of martinis were enjoyed throughout the room as hors d’oeuvres from Chef's Market were passed before dinner.

One of the highlights of the evening was the fashion show presented by Oak Hall. The models were all current dental school students, and each wore various outfits inspired by numerous Bond films. Each student has dreams of not only becoming a top performer in their field, but of creating their future practice to be a place of inclusivity and break down the barriers many experience when accessing dental care. In addition to the fashion show, crucial funds were raised that evening through the silent auction, offering wonderful bottles of bourbon, a guitar signed by Tim McGraw, an Aston Martin golf bag, a wine pull and much more.

After the fashion show, guests enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner as well as the High Roller Lounge and entertainment by Johny Mezcla. A beautiful evening was had by all in support of Interfaith Dental's vision: “that every individual has the opportunity to achieve and sustain a healthy smile.”
