Hot-blooded hematologist Dr. Carol Gonsalves brought the house down at the inaugural Dancing with the Docs gala, held Saturday at the Shaw Centre.
The hockey mom of three and her dance partner, Veycheslav (Slavik) Tudorovsky, from the Arthur Murray Dance Studio, beat out eight other fleet-footed physicians to scoop up the highly sought-after Medicine Ball Award. They also earned themselves a standing ovation from the enthusiastic black-tie crowd of 600 with their high-energy cha-cha/hustle combo.
“People went crazy,” Tracy Serafini, a communications and public relations officer with the Department of Medicine, told Around Town. “The judges were on their feet.”
Serafini co-chaired the benefit with Dr. Anne McCarthy, an infectious disease physician. McCarthy also danced in the competition, wowing the crowd with a move most of us remember from our childhood: the cartwheel.
Hot-blooded hematologist Dr. Carol Gonsalves brought the house down at the inaugural Dancing with the Docs gala, held May 30 at the Shaw Centre.
Also strutting on stage, under the bright lights, were Drs. Kayvan Amjadi, Rob Beanlands, Alison Dugan, Ruchi Murthy, José Pereira, Phil Wells and Michael Schlossmacher, with their respective professional dance partners.
Amjadi may not have gone home toting the giant disco ball trophy but he did win most online votes, at $20 a pop, during the lead-up to the competition.
Ottawa celebrity Stuntman Stu was the evening’s host and live auctioneer while fun-loving figure skater Liz Manley helped judge the competition with well-known lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, Jamie McCracken, chair of The Ottawa Hospital board, and Simon Cowell-esque professional dance judge Carlos Lourenco from the Oakville Arthur Murray studio.
Ottawa Business Interiors stepped up as a major sponsor while Sizzle with Decor and Ottawa Flowers added a glittering dose of razzle dazzle to the night.
Proceeds raised from the gala are helping to create, through The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, a research chair position in Advanced Stem Cell Therapy at The Ottawa Hospital. The chair will be a senior clinician-researcher who will play a key role in leading clinical trials for innovative transplant-based therapies for treatments in areas such as cancer, muscular dystophy and spinal cord injuries.
