Health Foundation Gala28 celebrates 75 years By Mark Ribble About 300 patrons and supporters packed the Roma Club in Leamington on Saturday, January 24 for the Erie Shores Health Foundation Gala28. The sold out gala celebrated the 75th anniversary of the hospital, which opened April 4, 1950 and also serves as a signature fundraiser for the Health Foundation (ESHF). The Roma Club was decked out in black with plenty of sparkle and greenery to celebrate such a monumentous occasion. The welcoming area inside the front door featured live music by the Price Brothers Trio, a photo stop and living lamps from Medusa Entertainment, giving way to the lounge area and prize room, where the silent auction took place. Inside the hall, patrons found their tables and sat down for a delicious Roma Club dinner, which was followed by emcee Pepe Bonfiglio introducing yet another entertainer from Medusa — a chandelier aerialist who wowed the crowd with her moves. Bonfiglio also served as live auctioneer, who rallied the tables to make generous donations to the foundation. Gala Committee Chair, Gloria Cavenago, was in awe of the community support, volunteers and sponsors. “I’m blown away by the love of this community that supports their own,” she said. “Beyond grateful for this beautiful committee who spend countless volunteer hours along with their personal investment making this a night to remember! I am
blessed to be in a position to watch the magic that happens when the community comes together.” Gala28 committee member Krissy Thiessen was equally thrilled. “We are incredibly for-
tunate to have Erie Shores HealthCare serving our community for 75 years,” she said. “It was an honour to be part of an amazing committee working to raise funds for such an essential hospital in our
area.” The foundation itself also issued a statement on the success of the event. “ESHF could not be prouder of the success of Gala28. From the organization and design of the
event to the overall celebratory atmosphere for Erie Shores HealthCare’s 75th anniversary – thank you to the amazing committee and all of the attendees,” said the statement.
Medusa Entertainment provided some exciting aerial manouvres as part of the evening’s entertainment at the Erie Shores Health Foundation Gala held Saturday, January 24 at The Roma Club. More photos are on page 11. SUN photo by Mark Ribble
