Stand by Me will be the first event that URCSA & URKC will do together. This event is a fundraising gala with live auctions. All proceeds will be donated to HUGS foundation, Help Us Give Smiles, a Rochester based charity foundation. HUGS helps children with more than Microtia- we repair cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial injuries due to burns and accidents. Our goal is to help transform lives, to restore confidence so that each child can lead a productive, fulfilling life. In 2003, Dr. Quatela founded the HUGS Foundation with a simple goal in mind. He wanted to change the lives of children using a team of skilled surgeons to correct congenital facial deformities. His compassion for others, especially children, is demonstrated as he goes on many medical missions each year. Tickets will be sold at the Common Market.

This is a formal event where participants will be required to wear formal attire.
