Nora Sommerkamp - Woman of the Year 2013 Candidate
Each year in communities across the country, dynamic and passionate candidates are nominated to compete for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Man & Woman of the Year titles and to raise funds for blood cancer research. The candidates compete in honor of children who are local blood cancer survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year. This year the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has nominated Nora Sommerkamp as a candidate to support Lammar & Hannah from Rhode Island. Nora Sommerkamp (Director of Rooms - Forbes 5 Star / AAA 5 Diamond / Relais & Chateaux resort Ocean House in Rhode Island, Model at Major Model Management NYC) hosted the black tie fundraising gala on April 12th at Artisphere in Rosslyn VA.
This gala offered an appetizing culinary selection and specialty drinks by American Juice Company and a cash bar. Entertainment was provided by various music performers including MTV featured band Crash Boom Bang as well as impressive dance performances. A silent auction concluded the evening. All funds benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
