The HealthReach Board of Directors sponsored the annual spring gala which featured a Kentucky Derby Theme. On May 7, over 110 friends of HealthReach gathered for an afternoon of charitable wagering and auctions. The profit of $43,000 was a record for this event. An anonymous donor matched $15,000 of these proceeds for a grand total of $58,000. All of the profits from this major fundraiser provide the funding for the medical, dental and pharmacy programs. At the event Barbara Martin, President and CEO of Vista HealthSystem, was given the 2011 HealthReach Appreciation Award. This annual award recognized Vista’s significant and continuous support of the work of HealthReach since 1993.
The success of the 2011 Spring Gala was made possible by our major sponsors: U Line, Libertyville Bank and Trust, Amerisource-Bergen, Baxter Foundation, NorthShore University Health System-Highland Park Hospital, and Waukegan Savings Bank.
Our very generous guests supported the important work of HealthReach through their auction bids and charitable wagering. We are especially grateful to the kind donors of our live auction items The Board of
Directors is indebted to all of these committed community members who make possible the work of HealthReach.
