Thank you to all of our sponsors and guests who supported the 23rd Annual Bethesda LYCEUM.

Because of YOU, over $250,000 was raised to support state-of-the-art upgrades and construction of nine new Cardiac Cath Lab rooms at the Harold & Eugenia Thomas Heart & Vascular Center on the campus of Bethesda North.

2024 has brought us so much to celebrate!

Not only did we surpass this year's donation revenue goal, but the proceeds from the event complete the $20 million dollar commitment from the Bethesda Foundation to support the Harold & Eugenia Thomas Heart & Vascular Center.

Thank you for supporting us each and every year! We're so excited to witness all the good that will come from this incredibly impactful project.

Nora's speech made space for emotional honesty as she told her tale of how to move forward after experiencing grief and loss

Nora's first book, It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too) was written in the six months after the death of her husband, Aaron. At just 31 years old, she shares her story about love, loss, and trying to stay alive, told with heart and a sense of humor.

“You won’t do it because you are Superwoman, you’ll do it because it’s your life, and there is nobody who can live it for you.”

“Happiness isn’t something that is handed to you, but something you have a hand in making, every day.”

Nora McInerny and Andy Swallow

“We learn as we get older to appreciate the people we love for who they are, and for how they love us.”

Nora McInerny & Dr. Clint Hutson
