Chattanoogans experienced a slice of Italy’s charming coastal countryside, thanks to this year’s theme of “Under the Tuscan Sun” at the CHI Memorial Foundation‘s Pink! Gala. Held in a redecorated Chattanooga Convention Center, this black-tie fundraiser, which has raised $5.6 million since 2005, featured a lavish meal and lively auctions while honoring breast cancer survivors. The CHI Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit that aims to ensure local access to lifesaving care.
