INVITED Grayson Moore and Suzanne Eliastam Charles Badaoui and Ignacio Castillo Boillos Greg and Stephanie Loeber with Gary Saunders Pam and Steve DiFillippo Annie Sipe and Michael Spera Lauren and Rob Maloney PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL BLANCHARD PHOTOGRAPHY (REVVING); ROGER FARRINGTON (GEM) John Brooks, Lesley Fisher, and Herb Chambers Lindsey Connors and Tom Spera Stefany Shaheen and Craig Welch Revving Into Action More than 500 people, including Herb Chambers, George Regan, and Steve DiFillippo, gathered for Joslin Diabetes Center's High Hopes Gala at the Westin Copley Place in Boston on November 23. Thanks to the generosity of the guests, $1.2 million was raised to support the center's research, education, and clinical care. The evening had an unintentional car theme: In addition to Chambers's presence, Indy race car driver Charlie Kimball—the first driver with diabetes to win a race in the IZOD Indycar Series—was in attendance. Guests danced throughout the night, in between live and silent auctions, to the band K2. Howard and Leslie Appleby Rita Bean and Cedric Tonello What a Gem The Cartier boutique on Newbury Street and many of its clients were aglow (with diamonds, of course) on December 9 when the store hosted its annual holiday cocktail party. Guests, including Rita Bean and Greg and Stephanie Loeber, enjoyed modeling current and vintage Cartier pieces as well as viewing sketches and archival documents relating to two legendary Cartier creations, the Hope Diamond and The Taylor Burton Diamond.
