Annual Winter Gala
The Morgagni Medical Society holds its Annual Winter Gala at The Columbus Citizen's Foundation Townhouse in NYC. The Black Tie Gala is held in the beginning of January while the mansion remains fantastically decorated for the holidays. The gala gives the members an opportunity to dress up and dance the night away to Italian American Music. It also serves as our largest fundraising event for our scholarship fund. It is at this event that our scholarship winner is presented.
