Thanks to the amazing generosity of our supporters, we’re very pleased to announce that Calvert Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 3rd Annual Casino Night raised nearly $9,000, said hospital spokesperson Kasia Sweeney. Proceeds from the benefit will be used to purchase a pediatric training simulator to enhance patient care.
The anatomically correct manikin is computer programmable with a variety of scenarios and gives staff the opportunity to practice new pediatric techniques. The equipment will be part of a new pediatric simulation and training room at the hospital.
“We want to thank everyone who came out to show their support for this great cause,” said CMH Foundation President Mark Davis. “Everyone involved with the event can feel proud that they played a part in enhancing care for the children of our community.”
The casino-style benefit held at St. John Vianney Family Life Center attracted more than 150 attendees. Win, lose or draw, guests enjoyed the mouth-watering buffet selections donated by Expressions Catering, Flavorful Impressions Catering, Grizzly Mountain Grill and Salsarita’s.
“We’d also like to express our appreciation to DJ Dave for providing the entertainment, to Mamma Lucia’s Restaurant for furnishing the wine and beer, Capital Food Service for supplying the sodas and water and to DuPaul’s Catering, Soft Stuff Distributors and Eden & Tye for contributing the delicious desserts,” he said.
“I would especially like to recognize our sponsors for their ongoing commitment and dedication,” said CMH President and CEO Jim Xinis. “Leading the way was our own Harvest Ball Committee along with Fantasy World Entertainment, J.W. Graner Excavating, Inc., Davis, Upton, Palumbo & Daugherty, Attorneys at Law and Pat Petricko/Remax 100.”
