On Sunday, May 5th 2013, the IARS hosted its 2nd annual Party with a Purpose in support of innovative anesthesia research. 150+ attendees enjoyed a fun-filled evening with great food and wine, amazing silent and live auctions led by comedian Sean Kelly and live entertainment by Breez’n, San Diego’s Variety Band.
