The Rogers Memorial Hospital Foundation raised almost $170,000 at it’s recent centennial gala.
"We can’t thank everyone enough," Marion Heinz, Director of the foundation said. "The outcome was incredible. The money raised will go a long way in helping people overcome mental health concerns and start living a better quality of life."
The black tie event was held Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Renaissance Place in downtown Milwaukee and featured silent and live auctions, a gourmet dinner, and dancing to the big band sounds of the Nick Contorno Orchestra.
"Because we were observing our 100th anniversary, it was an incredibly special year for Rogers Memorial and our foundation.," Heinz said. "Each year we find more and more people willing to share their experiences and kindness."
The Rogers Memorial Hospital foundation supports patient continuation care scholarships for patients who need more treatment time but whose resources are at an end. All proceeds from the gala provide direct support to patients and programs at Rogers Memorial Hospital.
