Oscar Isberian Rugs was proud to be a sponsor of DIFFA’s
incredible Believe Gala held on June, 7 2014 in the beautiful Grand Ballroom at
Chicago’s Navy Pier. More than 750 people attended to show their support
for the fight against HIV/AIDS. The evening was a tremendous success

The spunky and energetic Catherine De Orio was the emcee of
the event. Catherine is a Chicagoan passionate about food, wine, and
people. She did a great job entertaining and interacting with the guests.
She is the new host of the long running hit show “Check, Please!” on
WTTW.

The musical group was fantastic, Canada’s show band
“Famous” had the whole place jumping from their breathtaking
performance. The band played hit songs that have had
strong impacts on the history of music featuring songs by Michael Jackson,
Madonna, Lady Gaga, and other musical legends. It was their debut in the
United States.
