Dr. Janice Yanni, owner of Yanni Family Orthodontics, attended St. Mary's Academy's 14th Annual A.C.E. (Advocates for Catholic Education) Gala Celebration on Saturday April 7, 2018 at Storrowton Tavern in West Springfield, MA. 

For the 12th year in a row, Dr. Yanni donated a comprehensive orthodontic treatment package that was auctioned off during the event ($5,900 value).  During the live auction, Dr. Yanni's braces proved to be a hot item.  The Besse Family and the Hadley Family were the two families involved in the very exciting, very friendly bidding war.  The HadleyFamily won the set of braces that were originally donated by Dr. Yanni.  With all of the excitement that ensued during the live auction, Dr. Yanni and husband, Anthony, made a spur of the moment decision to donate a second set of braces so that the Besse Family's bid was also a winner.  Congratulations to thee Hadleys and the Besses!  

Yanni Family Orthodontics' donation helped raise over 10% of the total funds that St. Mary's Academy collected at the April 7th Gala.
