NEWS RELEASE Black and White Gala Raises $70,000 It was a sold-out, spectacular celebration of a major community achievement. The Brockville and District Hospital Foundation’s Black and White Gala lit up the Brockville Armouries Saturday night as the people of Leeds/Grenville gathered to mark 125 years of community service for Brockville General Hospital. Over 280 attendees enjoyed the black-tie evening of exotic cuisine, elegant socializing, and excellent entertainment while raising funds toward the purchase of an Isotope Indicator—state of the art technology used in the assessment of breast cancer. After both a silent and a live auction, Gala Committee Co-Chairs Dr. Ardis and Mrs. Marsha Lindsay brought the evening to its peak with the presentation to the Foundation of a cheque for $70,000, well exceeding the original goal of $50,000. When presenting the cheque, Mrs. Lindsay commented on the generosity of the community toward the gala and the fundraising. “Time and again, as Ardis and I worked with the committee to pull this event together,” said Lindsay, “we were touched and amazed by the enthusiasm and support from businesses, groups and individuals who responded to our requests, donated directly to the fund, or came forward on their own to ask if they could help. “On behalf of the entire Gala Committee,” she added, “it’s been privilege and a joy to work on this very special event.”
Accepting the cheque for $70,000 are (l – r) Ray Marshall, BGH President and CEO, and David Bryer, Foundation Chair, from Gala Co-Chairs Mrs. Marsha and Dr. Ardis Lindsay. For more information, please contact:
