ountry y St. MaryCountr 2015 St. Mary Gala
I
n what’s being hailed by many as “the best one yet,” the May 9th St. Mary Spring Gala brought 300 residents of Bucks and nearby counties together to help achieve one important goal – the expansion and renovation of the St. Mary Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Labor & Delivery departments.
This year’s country-western themed event took place under an enormous tent on the sprawling front lawn of a private, historic farm in Newtown, PA. Guests were enthusiastic about the theme and arrived outfitted in all manner of country attire to dance the night away. A professional line dance instructor, accompanied by live music performed by Jake’s Rockin’ Country Band, provided the inspiration and the fun. The highlight of the evening was a touching video presentation capturing the vital importance of the NICU introduced by and featuring the St. Mary Mom, Jen Posner. A wildly-successful paddle auction followed, raising funds for the purchase of specialized neonate bottle warmers.
The St. Mary Foundation would like to thank Dr. Richard Leshner and Ms. Kaia Christiansen for chairing the Gala and Ed and Lynn Breen for hosting the event on their property. We would also like to thank all of our generous event sponsors. Silver Dollar Sponsors: Turner Construction Radiology Affiliates McCaffrey's Market Charlene & Howard Schwartz McBrick Building Group
