Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) April 22, 2013
When Sara Hager decided at the last minute to attend Lyme Research Alliances (LRA) Time for Lyme Gala recently, she never dreamed shed go home the winner of a brand-new Mercedes-Benz.
Sara, a retired Georgetown University Italian language professor who is still connected with the University, was in Greenwich as the houseguest of longtime friends Darcy and John Hadjipatras. They insisted I come to Greenwich to visit for the weekend, said Sara, an Oakton, VA resident who lost her husband of 50 years to acute leukemia in December.
The group went to an off-Broadway play in the afternoon, then they suggested Sara might join them for LRAs benefit in the evening. We support Lyme Research Alliance for all the important research work it funds, said Darcy Hadjipatras.
Sara decided to attend the event, which was held at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich. Once there, John Hadjipatras, president of Eagle Ocean Transport Inc., purchased some $ 100 raffle tickets for the car and gave one to her.
