Neighborhood Healthcare, a regional Federally Qualified Health Center providing a wide range of medical, dental, and behavioral health services, raised nearly $600,000 at its recent annual fundraising gala.
The contributions at the Agosto 16 event, and those still coming in, will support the organization’s expansion efforts in Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties.
"Estamos muy agradecidos por el apoyo constante que hemos recibido de tantas organizaciones y personas generosas", ha declarado el Dr. Rakesh Patel, Director General de Neighborhood Healthcare. "Este acontecimiento ha superado todas las expectativas y ha demostrado que las comunidades pueden unirse. Ahora más que nunca, nuestra misión de proporcionar una atención de calidad, integral y compasiva a todo el mundo, incluidos los niños, independientemente de las circunstancias, es muy necesaria."
The “Together We Grow” event included music, interactive activities, live auctions, and a lively game of “heads or tails’ with the winner receiving a fabulous Italian Cuisine themed package. Attendees also viewed a heart-touching video, highlighting the patient and family journey and the need for access to comprehensive, easily accessible care – from prenatal to seniors – right in their community. The gala also highlighted the organization’s $10 million capital campaign, a foundational element to Neighborhood Healthcare’s current expansion efforts.
“This event went a long way in helping us expand our services across Southern California to those who need access to care,” said the Director of Development for Neighborhood Healthcare. “We believe that healthcare is a right, and are proud of our role and those with whom we partner in our region to make that a reality for more individuals and their families.”
More than 75 individuals and organizations sponsored the gala. The biggest sponsors included:
Alan & Debbie Gold
BioMed Realty
Gary y Maxine Kreitzer
Jack y Caroline Raymond
Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego
California Bank & Trust
